Greetings!
I noticed today that Higan[0] has been added to Copr. It's a game
system emulator, and it includes some binary ROM files (for example,
[4]) that I have been unable to determine the license for. I have
attempted to contact the author to ask where these files came from and
what their license is, but did not get a reply. The Higan website
claims that these files are not subject to copyright law[5], but IANAL
and am not familiar with any exceptions to Copyright law that would be
unique to system ROM images, so I figured I would ask the legal list.
Is Higan acceptable to be distributed by Fedora given these system ROM
files that it includes?
