Re: [Qemu-devel] Re: [PATCH v3 22/25] ay8910: YM2608 core forked from MAME 0.59

[Roy Tam <roytam@gmail.com>]

I did a google code search and I found this:
http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=zh-TW&sa=N&cd=2&ct=rc#yVjp3hog9Qw/trunk/breemlib/apu/ay8910/ay8910.cpp&q=ay8910

//
// From mame.txt (http://www.mame.net/readme.html)
//
// VI. Reuse of Source Code
// --------------------------
//    This chapter might not apply to specific portions of MAME (e.g. CPU
//    emulators) which bear different copyright notices.
//    The source code cannot be used in a commercial product without the written
//    authorization of the authors. Use in non-commercial products is
allowed, and
//    indeed encouraged.  If you use portions of the MAME source code in your
//    program, however, you must make the full source code freely available as
//    well.
//    Usage of the _information_ contained in the source code is free
for any use.
//    However, given the amount of time and energy it took to collect this
//    information, if you find new information we would appreciate if
you made it
//    freely available as well.
//

Does it apply to this case?

P.S.: Mail resent as I click wrong button, sorry.
