That's why they said they are waiting for confirmation to see what happens with the next Kaillera release. If that module was created and not released as an open source project, then they may very well have a legal problem. A copyright definitely helps in the owners favor.īut Open K just admitted themselves they were using the client module from the original Kaillera project, a closed source project. When it comes down to copyright and patent infringement the person who can prove they came up with an idea and used it FIRST, usually wins. I don't know what the deal about not being patented within the first three years of innovation has to do with anything, but if the owner has legal ground, its tough cookies for them. In the end it doesn't matter though, because if the Open K project is using parts of a closed source project in their own project, then the copyright holder has the right to contest it. While it may feel good to think Open K caused the new owner to do this, I don't see that claim being made by anyone but you. It's his legal right to contest copyright infringement in a court.ģ. He owns it, he can do anything he pleases with it. That party PAID for the legal rights to the work, including the closed source code. Just because something uses Kaillera doesn't mean the developer of Kaillera was the one who compiled the binaries and did everything.Ģ. In any case the problem should be with the people who compiled Mame ++ with Kaillera, not Kaillera itself. Especially if there are no GPL/LGPL violations going on

As long as your code is properly credited and used appropriately, its tough shit if you don't like what someone has done. Being open source doesn't give you the right to tell people what do to with their own code, just because they use your code in a project. MAME is open source, so everything else should be? That's plain old fashion self righteousness. You have no basis for your arguments though.ġ. until that becomes a GPL requirement to "free communications on Internet Bulletin Board Systems" or some BS.lol I'm sure I've just opened a can of worms I'll regret but I still have the freedom not to respond. Commercial is not the devil, and neither is closed source.

But I find commercial software to be superior to open source competitive alternatives in many cases.

If you can't accept the consequences of wanting free code available to anyone for their own purposes, then don't release your code.

But at the same time, how can people claim to want an open source utopia where all code is free, but then if someone wants to take that code and modify it in some way and create a viable commercial enterprise with it, it is somehow illegal and "wrong". I am not necesarrily against it, as people deserve some protection. It doesn't take anything away from MAME and frankly I find it appalling that such a large project doesn't have its own, open source, superior netplay code.įrankly I find the whole idea of the GPL to be hypocritical. It wasn't source code created and donated by the public in any sense. How many emulators include Kaillera? It's just a netplay package. It may be a GPL violation in some way but seriously. Otherwise, the normal rules for emulators apply.It is sheer idiocy to say that you can't compile something and / or distribute it because it incorporates features of a closed source program. We do not require INP (as of yet), but you may provide one if you do not wish to capture the emulator window. However due to the innacuracy of Fightcade, we will no longer be accepting any fightcade emulated runsĪs of today only MAME runs will be accepted. I have created a program which calculates the time difference to make this easy for us to do for each run on the leaderboard. Mame/Arcade/Fightcade will be merged back into the same leaderboard. What we have decided to do is calculate the difference in time between fightcade and mame/real hardware and penalize them accordingly. Unfortunately this means it is unfair to pair Fightcade with 30th even though they run at the same speed. Upon further investigation, it would seem that some of the roms you can use on fightcade/mame/real hardware do in fact have different gameplay than that of 30th Anniversary (mostly with the AI).
