Although this claims in the Google Code field to be GPL, I’m not sure it is, and I’m also not sure it’s FOSS. To quote:

“I am releasing everything for free, in keeping with the licensing MAME terms, which is free for non-commercial use only.”

CiaranG, you are right in that it is not GPL. It is released under the MAME License. The full text with Q&A can be found at [ http://mamedev.org/license.html ].

Copyright

The code in MAME is the work of hundreds of developers, each of whom owns the copyright to the code they wrote. There is no central copyright authority you can license the code from. The proper way to use the MAME source code is to examine it, using it to understand how the games worked, and then write your own emulation code. Sorry, there is no free lunch here.
