Licence? #151

Closed WhyNotHugo closed 7 years ago

WhyNotHugo commented 7 years ago

Hey! I'm packaging this for Arch/AUR, and I don't see any LICENCE or COPYING file in the repo, and the README doesn't specify anything.

Under what licence is this project distributed? Could you please add such a file to the repo? :)

https://github.com/libretro/fbalpha/blob/master/src/license.txt

WhyNotHugo commented 7 years ago

Ah, thanks, I hadn't looked inside src.

Would it be okay to add a symlink in the root of the repo (/LICENCE) to that?

WhyNotHugo commented 7 years ago

Huh, that file states that MAME is licenced under the GPL, so, if this repo contains code from mame it MUST be distributed under the GPL, not another licence.

andres-asm commented 7 years ago

MAME wasn't always GPL, as long as the files haven't been updated from MAME since the license switch that doesn't hold.

Not sure if it's the case ofc.
