1. Emulators/MEKA wiki comment>> License is unclear. The website says "MEKA is a free software distributed under a BSD-like license, allowing you to browse and reuse sources and data with no restrictions." The sources.txt file includes a license that is unclear, but has these five terms: 1. "This source code comes free, without any warantee given." 2. You must publish source code if you publish the binary. 3. "Reuse of source code are authorized for any purpose." 4. Re-use of embedded data in other projects is not allowed. 5. Derivative projects is allowed but discouraged. The license appears incompatible with free software or open source software, but not sure.
I thought MEKA was GPL. :o Anyway, I'm not personally keen on the idea of including any sort of emulator in an OS distribution, especially not one that specifically exists to run "romz" (and I say this as the author of a few Apple and Commodore emulators, some of which run on DOS).
[I'm leaning to "no" on this one]
...yeah, no. Don't include MEKA.
4. Networking/WATTCP wiki comment>> Would be good to be more specific on the license. The license doesn't say "freeware" but does allow redistribution. Not sure. [probably okay]
Isn't it some sort of free or public domain, but the manuals are commercial, or something really wacky like that?
