And also, are you missing a not in the 2nd clause? (nested quotes, as I think we are wildly off-topic)

The difference is if the "thing" you distribute is copyrighted or not.
So when you use OpenBW and create a tournament and you broadcast it (to make this easier to argue but works anyway). You distribute copyrighted material. The images of the Zergling, eventhough created with the non copyrighted OpenBW, are copyrighted by Blizzard.
So why not stop there with the argument? Legality seems 'clear'. Emulator or not, the TOS prohibits modifying&redistributing. Having a copy (who keeps receipts for that long...) of BW won't change that. Of course it's technically hard to argue who authored (cf 2nd paragraph) and who copied what exactly. Much of my point was to say that if it gets media attention it will also draw Activision_Blizz legal attention and possibly seize and desists. Arguably, stopping the WoW vanilla clone (see Nostalrius) took so long because those guys weren't in the US -- and now moved the server, including a playerbase of a few 100,000s, to Russia.
Update: in the "Afreecatv CEO" thread this was posted, which compares the IP to re-enacting a theatre play. Even with a licence the IP holder could shut you down at any time. Also there's likely a distinction on copyright on the code vs. trademark protection for IP/franchise.

After watching awesome Sziky vs Dewalt games i think good idea for OpenBW and Blizzard will be to adds storms counter. Probally i will add this feautre for 1.16. Just for watching old replays.

The OpenBW core engine is currently just receiving sporadic minor improvements, since it is pretty much complete.
As Lazare1969 wrote, we're about to release a new Java wrapper which works well with OpenBW. Although its primary target is the bot development community it could also be used to develop a GUI for OpenBW such that humans can play.
Furthermore we've released a first dockerized version of OpenBW.
Whether Java or c++: At the current state, anyone can contribute a GUI. It's likely rather easy to get something usable with reasonable effort, especially if you just start with implementing all the keyboard shortcuts (nobody semi-serious is clicking on the command icons anyways). The most difficult task might be unit prioritization when a user boxes more than 12 units: Which 12 units make it into the control group?

Not that I’m a coder or developer or anything, but isn’t java pretty much dead?

Java is overall the biggest programming language on Earth and will be for a very very long time in the future.

Okay good to know. I thought it was being phased out and overall was slow/clunky. Guess I was wrong. Thanks for the info!

It's not an opinion, it's a fact. Sure, you can look at it in different ways and you'll see that there are many other languages being used out there, some quite a bit more depending on the area you're aiming at but OVERALL, there is no question about it, Java and Javascript represent a huge piece of the puzzle.
