PCSX2 fails this one: Emulators which depend on firmware or ROM files to function may not be included in Fedora, unless the copyright holder(s) for the firmware/ROM files give clear permission for the firmware/ROM files to be distributed (either under a Fedora permissible license or under the Fedora firmware exception criteria). Note: This only covers the situation where an emulator will not run at all without firmware/ROM files. For example, emulators that compile and run, but ship with no game ROMs are not covered by this rule. PCSX2 does not function without a copy of a PS2 BIOS. While this BIOS is not included in PCSX2 for legal reasons, the fact that PCSX2 depends on it is a problem. PCSX2 cannot do anything without this BIOS file. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
