Which is the license of the AdvanceMAME source ?
The AdvanceMAME project is released under the GPL license. In addition you have some extra rights granted by a special license exception which allow you to link the AdvanceMAME GPL source with the not GPL MAME source. The exception also gives you the rights to eliminate it if you don’t like it or if you want to include the AdvanceMAME source in another GPL program. So, AdvanceMAME is 100% GPL. You can more easily think at it as a sort of double license. A GPL or a GPL + exception. You have all the rights of the GPL, and, if you want, some others. The only limitation is for AdvanceMAME. AdvanceMAME cannot include external GPL source without the explicit permission of the source copyright holder.
