My first post!
I have been on the emulation scene since its early days. I have watched Mame grow into what it is today, and I can honestly say that it is a great achievement.
There is much more that Mame can do (including MESS) which will encompass other emulation projects and better them. Information sharing is key, and with a new license Mame can only get better and help other developers improve and create.
I find it sad that Matt is not improving Daphne, as he is a talented programmer, and he thinks of others, especially his project for a disabled person, where his Raspi project shines.
I think Daphne has hit a technical brick wall, and if Mame was licensed under the GPL, Matt can continue expanding Daphne with the use of the cores Mame could offer, including all the LDP work gathered and technical experience.
The benefits outweigh the negatives for all concerned in the emulation community, and Daphne is a good example.
