Your license is invalid #37

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
SNES9x uses a custom license for distribution, and many of the contributive 
devs have NOT consented to a license change.

I'm trying so very, very hard to care right now, but I just can't do it. Sorry.

to change the license of the original program is generally a violation thus can 
lead to prosecution, I suggest change it back to the original license.

Then you'd like your arse sued into the floor then i take it?

The code belongs to all previous contributors to the snes9x code base, and you 
have no right to claim ownership to it and change its license type.

You're no different to a code thief in this sense.

misapplication of an invalid license is already seeing the emulator distributed 
for sale on some platforms, at the chagrin of the base code developers.
