Haze又怒了。
"The End? Newer Update"
Apparently (according to Lord Nightmare in the comments below) “This
whole thing started with a few academic papers and museums noting that
they cannot use MAME/MESS even for a preservation standpoint (which is
the whole POINT of the MAME/MESS projects) due to its overly restrictive
no-commercial-use license.”
Now while I still consider the whole thing unworkable (you can’t simply
ignore minor contributors and relicense files containing their
contributions) I think it would have been a lot fairer to ask people
if they would approve an additional exemption for such cases rather
than trying to force the hand of everybody to a pure BSD license. I
would have found that much more agreeable, and had even stated as much
to the team in an earlier email. There is a world between allowing ANY
commercial use, and allowing people with legitimate needs who fear they
can’t use it due to our current license a clearer exception to the
current clause. I’d still consider the actions taken by the team to be
opportunistic tho (clearly some have wanted to force a pure BSD license
for a while and jumped on this)
I’m not sure I’d count a museum as commercial use in the first place
mind you, but obviously for specific cases with a similar cause to MAME
I would not deny use of my code.
As things stand I feel that is that, this article doesn’t need to be
further posted anywhere, nor do I need any additional comments, so I’m
turning them off. The point has been made. I remain unhappy with how
things have been handled, and the whole process has certainly been
revealing when it comes to how much (or little) some devs value the
smaller contributions people have made to the project. I certainly hope
some further consideration is put into this move before any more action
is taken otherwise we are just going to end up with a package full of
illegally relicensed code.
I have temporarily set the page in question to be protected until the
storm passes, but will restore it at a later date to show my concerns.
My concern here is for the MAME project.
简单说就是MAMEdev有意要商业化牟利,身为主力编译手的Haze则跳出来反对。
Haze还强调如果真的商业化,他绝对会退出,而且警告MAMEdev在商业化之後就
不准使用他所编写过的任何一行代码。
感想:其实这件事情有利有弊就是了,只是不知道MAME要如何商业化经营?半强
迫赞助?还是乾脆缴钱给游戏公司请他们定期授权?
