MAME will always be freely available for download, the change of license just basically means people will be able to sell it.

While this does happen anyway right now it is WITHOUT our permission.  I do not intend on giving that permission for any code I've contributed.  If anybody has read my previous postings here they'll know I take it very seriously when I say MAME is for documentation and reference, not for people to make money out of it.

99% of end users aren't going to notice, but to people who have contributed under the assumption that their work would be part of a project that would forever be non-commercial it's like being shat on from a great height, especially with Aaron stating that only major contributions count (completely illegal IMHO, everybody who has contributed anything to a file should count)

this whole thing puts a bad taste in coder mouths

to have some/few say f.u. it is going to pay ware and thks for comming
is a bad move....

just like building mames just to sell them is in the bad taste of a hobby
