It looks like you can fix it yourself, or ask someone, as long as you have a legal copy.

I think (IANAL) redistributing is okay as log as it requires a lawfully acquired copy of the program.

I wonder if that would help the open source GTA remake case. They can argue it now runs on ARM for instance, which would be okay given the text.

Doubt it because they were distributing the entire decompiled codebase. The part that was missing was just the game assets.

If they were just distributing a binary patch that fixed the game, then they would probably be safe.
