Keen observation! Why do you think I'm asking?

Thanks for the tip!

They mean something like this:

Each of the major publishers (capcom, atari, etc.) generally sells some game collections like this. Also you can't sell MAME itself even though it is a free program. Its part of the license.

Blanka:
Yeah, Mame has a stinking license. It's some weird self-made crappy legal document. Not GNU, Apache, Mozilla or something general.
Don't know how some of the multi-pack makers did it, but they used mame-code as well.
Let's hope Nicola Salmoria will see the light sometime and publish the stuff GNU or so.

Timstuff:
Officially licensed Arcade anthology CDs are your best bet, since I'm not aware of any legal alternatives. Also, the PC version of Street Fighter 4 is coming out soon.

Jack Burton:
To give the greatest selection of games I would recommend installing a Playstation 2 into your cabs.  There were many releases of 90's arcade games and compilations of 80's arcade games for the PSX and PS2 platforms. 

Also the easiest for the consumer to use.
