Hi,
Here we go again

If you were using code from Gens then you were using GPL'd code. It doe not matter if you or byuu think that Gens doesn't "comply with its own license" as you once put it - Gens code is, was and remains GPL'd.
I didn't take a single line of code from Gens. I just took some information which isn't governed by GPL in any way. Even then, that is completely credited in the readme which I don't have to do but I have because I really appreciate the hard work of Stef (and others as well).
Many other parts you used for Regen use GPL-derived licenses like MAME, Starscream, etc., which as well do require you to release the source code.
Regen doesn't use any MAME code. The M68000 and Z80 emulators license just requires me to credit their authors which I have. The supplied NTSC filter plugin is LGPL so I can use it as a DLL without opening my own code but opening my modifications to the original code, which btw, I have done and the modified sources is available from a link at Eidolon's inn. If they can't find it I can post them here. ZLIB is under MIT/BSD like license which doesn't even require me to credit them but I have. LZMA code used to support the 7z format is under the following license:
Igor Pavlov, as the author of this Code, expressly permits you to
statically or dynamically link your Code (or bind by name) to the
interfaces of this file without subjecting your linked Code to the
terms of the CPL or GNU LGPL. Any modifications or additions
to this file, however, are subject to the LGPL or CPL terms.
Again, I am not violating any license.
I understand and actually don't have a problem with you not releasing the source code until you think it's cleaned up and good enough for a release, so I am looking forward to that day.
I don't have any problem with you either. I am just a bit annoyed at your false accusations/allegations/claims on Regen and myself. Even though I am not releasing my code, I always try to help others whenever I can.
Finally, I am again repeating this but Regen does
not violate any license in any way.
stay safe,
AamirM
