MAME is open source, so everything else should be? That's plain old fashion self righteousness. You have no basis for your arguments though.ġ.

until that becomes a GPL requirement to "free communications on Internet Bulletin Board Systems" or some BS.lol I'm sure I've just opened a can of worms I'll regret but I still have the freedom not to respond. Commercial is not the devil, and neither is closed source.

#STREET FIGHTER III 3RD STRIKE MAME PLUS SOFTWARE#

But I find commercial software to be superior to open source competitive alternatives in many cases.

If you can't accept the consequences of wanting free code available to anyone for their own purposes, then don't release your code. But at the same time, how can people claim to want an open source utopia where all code is free, but then if someone wants to take that code and modify it in some way and create a viable commercial enterprise with it, it is somehow illegal and "wrong". I am not necesarrily against it, as people deserve some protection. It doesn't take anything away from MAME and frankly I find it appalling that such a large project doesn't have its own, open source, superior netplay code.įrankly I find the whole idea of the GPL to be hypocritical. It wasn't source code created and donated by the public in any sense. How many emulators include Kaillera? It's just a netplay package. It may be a GPL violation in some way but seriously. It is sheer idiocy to say that you can't compile something and / or distribute it because it incorporates features of a closed source program.
