Heya, thanks for opening an issue in on this.

it depend on many closed source dlls to be standalone.

Can't do much about this. The Arks Layer tooling at this time is closed source. Astra can however fully run and install the game without utilising any of them, it's only when enabling Arks Layer plugins features does it download and install these dlls.

is this project associate with arks layer somehow? they seem very protective about resources, do you have permission to access theirs stuff?

We have permission from the Arks Layer team to utilise there tools where necessary, we also use a custom user-agent provided by them to access their web services. https://github.com/Yen/PSRT.Astra/blob/master/README.md#arks-layer

Aside from the agreement for usage of their tools, myself and this project are not directly associated with Arks Layer.
