I'm trying to understand whether it can be included in Fedora or not. I've read the legal guidelines on emulators[3] and the packaging guidelines on what can be packaged[4]. I believe linapple can run without requiring any sort of boot/system ROM, so I think this falls into the category of inclusion in Fedora. I want to follow the spirit of Fedora's open source as much as possible. Can anyone with a better understanding of the emulator requirements tell me whether linapple can be included or not? > > > > > > Thanks! > > > Link > > > > > > 1: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2025398 > > > 2: https://github.com/linappleii/linapple > > > 3: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/misc/#_emulators > > > 4: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/what-can-be-packaged/#_packages_which_are_not_useful_without_external_code > > > > From what I can see in the source code, I think linapple is fine to > > include.
