When I referred to legality, that was in regards to trademark issues, as Nintendo® and MAME® are registered trademarks with US Patent and Trademark Office. Nintendo is very aggressive towards protecting their rights, as you can see on the links: https://www.nintendo.com/corp/legal.jsp#emulator And you can see on simple search that Nintendo is really doing that: https://duckduckgo.com/html?q=nintendo+emulator+infringement&t=gnu If a package is included in the GuixSD distribution that is named as below, it clearly uses trademark in such manner that it can be attacked. That is what you need to check with attorneys, to either confirm what I am claiming, or reject my claims. Do you understand? guix package --show=nestopia-ue name: nestopia-ue version: 1.46.2 outputs: out systems: x86_64-linux i686-linux armhf-linux mips64el-linux dependencies: ao-1.2.0 glu-9.0.0 gtk+-3.18.2 libarchive-3.1.2 mesa-11.0.9 + pkg-config-0.29 sdl2-2.0.4 zlib-1.2.8 location: gnu/packages/games.scm:1766:2 homepage: http://0ldsk00l.ca/nestopia/ license: GPL 2+ synopsis: Nintendo Entertainment System (NES/Famicom) emulator description: Nestopia UE (Undead Edition) is a fork of the Nintendo + Entertainment System (NES/Famicom) emulator Nestopia, with enhancements from + members of the emulation community.
