Can MAME be unblocked from PureOS
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

MAME is currently blocked in PureOS (ref: https://master.pureos.net/synchrotron/blacklist). Previously they used their own license that did not allow for all forms of redistribution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAME#Original_MAME-license & https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/software-does-not-respect-free-system-distribution-guidelines) but have now changed to GPL and BSD licenses (http://www.mamedev.org/?p=422).

Wondering if we can unblock MAME so it can be available in our repos and also unblock other packages that rely on MAME.

Event Timeline

I see no reason for blocking MAME from PureOS.

@mak Please unblock.
