MAME To Become GPL?

BigJimSlade writes "The 'What's New' file for the latest release of the Multi Arcade Machine Emulator (or MAME, as it is more affectionately known) states that the developers/maintainers are considering re-licensing the not-so-open source code under the GPL/LGPL. Currently the source is under a slightly restrictive licence that prevents modifications to certain areas of code from being redistributed. (L)GPL source for this project would be quite a boon for devlopers, who could reuse the CPU cores and other key components in other OSS projects."

      What's a licence? I've heard of a license, but a licence?

      "Licence" is a noun.

      "License" is a verb.

      It's similar to "advice" and "advise".

      This only applies if you're speaking English, of course.

    It is I...The great FUTRICOT! I have decided to tell everyone the following-
    The trolling individuals on Slashdot are regrouping for a great and mighty attack. Their recent dropping off in posting is evidence of this. Soon, they will attack, much like a Perl Harbour type scene. The big questions are: 1.) Where did I leave my truckage? 2.) Does anyone care about you? 3.)This is actually an answer. No one cares about you if you're here. 4.) Tuna likes the hair on mooskabi brurritos!

    Odds are, you're not smart enough to figure this out.

  14. Where to get the ROMS now? by Shanep · · Score: 1, Troll

    I've played MAME on and off for probably 5 years but never really archived any of my favorite ROMS.

    I was recently in the mood to download them again to play and archive for my own use, but it seems they're now really hard to find downloadable on the net.

    Years ago, a friend of mine had a CD full of MAME ROMS that he purchased from some shonky shop.

    Anyone know where I can get the ROMS on CD or DVD?
