+MAME(tm), the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator
+Copyright (c) 1997-2007 by Nicola Salmoria and the MAME team
+MAME is a trademark owned by Nicola Salmoria
+
+
+----------
+I. Purpose
+----------
+MAME is strictly a non-profit project. Its main purpose is to be a
+reference to the inner workings of the emulated arcade machines. This is
+done both for educational purposes and for preservation purposes, in
+order to prevent many historical games from disappearing forever once the
+hardware they run on stops working. Of course, in order to preserve the
+games and demonstrate that the emulated behavior matches the original,
+you must also be able to actually play the games. This is considered a
+nice side effect, and is not MAME's primary focus.
+
+It is not our intention to infringe on any copyrights or patents on the
+original games. All of MAME's source code is either our own or freely
+available. To operate, the emulator requires images of the original ROMs,
+CDs, or hard disks from the arcade machines, which must be provided by
+the user. No portions of the original game code are included in the
+executable.
+
+
+--------
+II. Cost
+--------
+MAME is free. Its source code is free. Selling either is not allowed.
+
+
+----------------
+III. Image Files
+----------------
+ROM, CD, and hard disk images are all copyrighted material. They cannot
+be distributed without the explicit permission of the copyright owner.
+They are not "abandonware", nor have any of the games supported by MAME
+passed out of copyright.
+
+MAME is not intended to be used as a tool for mass copyright
+infringement. Therefore, it is strongly against the authors' wishes to
+sell, advertise, or link to resources that provide illegal copies of ROM,
+CD, or hard disk images.
+
+
+--------------------
+IV. Derivative Works
+--------------------
+Derivative works are allowed under the MAME license. However, you are
+discouraged from providing specific functionality that goes against the
+philosophy of the MAME team. Specifically:
+
+* Do not add games which are more recent than 3 years old, or which are
+still being sold new by the company that produced them. MAME is not
+intended to be a platform that competes with arcade games that are still
+being actively sold.
+
+* Do not provide a means of generating a list of games that specifically
+identifies those games for which the user does not have image files. This
+only encourages users to seek out sources for illegal ROM, CD, and hard
+disk images in order to "complete" their collection.
+
+* Do not remove the startup screen that contains information about why
+certain non-working games don't work. This only serves to generate a
+bunch of useless email traffic to the developers asking why the games
+don't work.
+
+Because the name MAME is trademarked, you must abide by the rules of the
+trademark usage if you wish to use "MAME" as part of the name your
+derivative work. In general, this means you must request permission,
+which requires that you follow the guidelines above.
+
+The version number of any derivative work should reflect the version
+number of the MAME release it was derived from.
