Created attachment 854420 [details] gngeo's licenses gngeo lists only GPL-2 under the LICENSES variable, but this is only the main license for gngeo and there are several other custom non-free licenses included. The COPYING from gngeo lists XMAME as well as several custom non-commercial licenses for cyclone, drz80, raze and starscream. However the mame code found at least in the mamez80 directory actually uses the old mame license which is not the same as XMAME in gentoo and mame code found in mame_layer, neoboot, neocrypt and perhaps elsewhere lack any license headers that would indicate what mame license they are using. Additionally starscream is only allowed to be distributed in unmodified form which perhaps gngeo-0.8-execstacks.patch even violates? Looking at the configure.in it appears which of the above will actually be used depends on architecture. For example on amd64 I get mamez80 (old MAME license) and gen68k (GPL-2). #setup default 68k core if test $m68kcore = default ; then case $target_cpu in i?86) if test x$have_name=xtrue ; then m68kcore=starscream else m68kcore=gen68k fi ;; arm) m68kcore=cyclone ;; *) m68kcore=gen68k ;; esac fi #setup default z80 core if test $z80core = default ; then case $target_cpu in i?86) if test x$have_name=xtrue ; then z80core=raze else z80core=mamez80 fi ;; arm) z80core=drz80 ;; *) z80core=mamez80 ;; esac fi
>is only allowed to be distributed in unmodified form which perhaps gngeo-0.8-execstacks.patch even violates? fwiw things like this bit can be solved adding RESTRICT="bindist" given then we're not distributing a modified copy nor a build of it, it's just being patched on the user's system
> fwiw things like this bit can be solved adding RESTRICT="bindist" given then we're not distributing a modified copy nor a build of it, it's just being patched on the user's system In this case this would only be applicable to i686 systems given the configure.in case statement. Note that the have_name test is always true.
