Anyhow, I was just wondering if it was legal to sell this commercially.

No, I was saying that the thread title is "Is selling MAME illegal?" and the question in the thread was "I was just wondering if it was legal to sell this commercially."

Was Lew saying Yes it is illegal, or yes it is legal?

I realise that I underestimated Lew's wisdom.

The correct answer to your question, in typical Winnie-the-Pooh logic, is indeed "YES"

Very Illegal. Especially if they are selling a "Golden Tee" without actual Golden Tee Boards.

Why does this pop up at least once a week?

It violates MAMES license.

It violates the coprights of any rom included.  Lets assume the buyer doesn't own all the boards.
