2013.10.15 　　 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. 　　 簡單說就是MAMEdev有意要商業化牟利，身為主力編譯手的Haze則跳出來反對。 　　 Haze還強調如果真的商業化，他絕對會退出，而且警告MAMEdev在商業化之後就 　　 不准使用他所編寫過的任何一行代碼。 感想：其實這件事情有利有弊就是了，只是不知道MAME要如何商業化經營？半強 　　　　　 迫贊助？還是乾脆繳錢給遊戲公司請他們定期授權？ ______________________________________________________________________________ 來源：http://mamedev.emulab.it/haze/2013/10/15/the-end/ -- ポーラステーション http://perryt0517.wordpress.com/ --
