MAME license violation #1

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

According to certain representatives of MAMEDev, the MAME license requires that 
you release source "on the same terms as the binary", meaning you must offer a 
direct download of the source tree used to compile the binary that you release. 
According to them it can be either a complete source archive or a diff to an 
official mamedev.org release, but merely offering public SVN access is 
insufficient.

You also need to include Lua in your source release, since Lua isn't a standard 
component of Windows (just as the MAME baseline source includes expat and zlib) 
Essentially, the MAME license mandates that you provide a source tree that 
compiles "out of the box", without tracking down additional components.
