+                 M.A.M.E.  -  Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator
+          Copyright (C) 1997-2001 by Nicola Salmoria and The MAME Team
+
+Many people have helped with this project--directly, or by releasing the source
+code for the drivers they have written. We are not trying to take credit that
+isn't ours. See the Acknowledgments section for a list of contributors. Please
+note, however, that the list is largely incomplete. Also see the comments in
+the source code to see the people who contributed to specific drivers. That
+list, too, may be incomplete. We apologize for any omission.
+
+All trademarks cited in this document are property of their respective owners.

+For usage instructions, please consult the corresponding readme.

+Usage and Distribution License
+------------------------------
+
+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 for
+   educational purposes and to prevent many historical games from sinking into
+   oblivion once the hardware they run on stops working. Of course to preserve
+   the games, you must also be able to actually play them; you can consider
+   that a nice side effect.
+   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
+   from the arcade machines, which must be provided by the user. No portion of
+   the original ROM codes are included in the executable.
+
+II. Cost
+--------
+   MAME is free. Its source code is free. Selling either is not allowed.
+
+III. ROM Images
+---------------
+   ROM images are copyrighted material. Most of them cannot be distributed
+   freely. Distribution of MAME on the same physical medium as illegal copies
+   of ROM images is strictly forbidden.
+   You are not allowed to distribute MAME in any form if you sell, advertise,
+   or publicize illegal CD-ROMs or other media containing ROM images. This
+   restriction applies even if you don't make money, directly or indirectly,
+   from those activities. You are allowed to make ROMs and MAME available for
+   download on the same website, but only if you warn users about the ROMs's
+   copyright status, and make it clear that users must not download ROMs unless
+   they are legally entitled to do so.
+
+IV. Source Code Distribution
+----------------------------
+   If you distribute the binary (compiled) version of MAME, you should also
+   distribute the source code. If you can't do that, you must provide a link
+   to a site where the source can be obtained.
+
+V. Distribution Integrity
+-------------------------
+   This chapter applies to the official MAME distribution. See below for
+   limitations on the distribution of derivative works.
+   MAME must be distributed only in the original archives. You are not allowed
+   to distribute a modified version, nor to remove and/or add files to the
+   archive.
+
+VI. Reuse of Source Code
+--------------------------
+   This chapter might not apply to specific portions of MAME (e.g. CPU
+   emulators) which bear different copyright notices.
+   The source code cannot be used in a commercial product without the written
+   authorization of the authors. Use in non-commercial products is allowed, and
+   indeed encouraged.  If you use portions of the MAME source code in your
+   program, however, you must make the full source code freely available as
+   well.
+   Usage of the _information_ contained in the source code is free for any use.
+   However, given the amount of time and energy it took to collect this
+   information, if you find new information we would appreciate if you made it
+   freely available as well.
+
+VII. Derivative Works
+---------------------
+   Derivative works are allowed, provided their source code is freely
+   available. However, these works are discouraged. MAME is a continuously-
+   -evolving project. It is in your best interests to submit your contributions
+   to the MAME development team, so they may be integrated into the main
+   distribution.
+   There are some specific modifications to the source code which go against
+   the spirit of the project. They are NOT considered a derivative work, and
+   distribution of executables containing them is strictly forbidden. Such
+   modifications include, but are not limited to:
+   - enabling games that are disabled
+   - changing the ROM verification commands so that they report missing games
+   - removing the startup information screens
+   If you make a derivative work, you are not allowed to call it MAME. You must
+   use a different name to make clear that it is a MAME derivative, not an
+   official distribution from the MAME team. Simply calling it MAME followed or
+   preceded by a punctuation mark (e.g. MAME+) is not sufficient. The name must
+   be clearly distinct (e.g. REMAME). The version number must also match the
+   number of the official MAME version from which you derived your version.
+
+
+How to Contact Us
+-----------------
+
+The official MAME homepage is http://www.mame.net/  You can always find the
+latest release there, including beta versions and information on things being
+worked on. Also, a totally legal and free ROM set of Robby Roto is available
+on the same page.
+
+If you have bugs to report, check the MAME Testing Project at
+http://www.mametesters.com
+
+Here are some of the people contributing to MAME. If you have comments,
+suggestions, or bug reports about an existing driver, check the driver's
+source code to find who has worked on it, and send comments to that person.
+If you are not sure who to contact, write to Nicola. If you have comments
+specific to a system other than DOS (e.g. Mac, Win32, Unix), they should be
+sent to the respective port maintainer (check the documentation to know who he
+is). DON'T SEND THEM TO NICOLA - they will be ignored.

+DON'T SEND BINARY ATTACHMENTS WITHOUT ASKING FIRST, *ESPECIALLY* ROM IMAGES.
+
+THESE ARE NOT SUPPORT ADDRESSES. Support questions sent to these addresses
+*will* be ignored. Please understand that this is a *free* project, mostly
+targeted at experienced users. We don't have the resources to provide end user
+support. Basically, if you can't get the emulator to work, you are on your own.
+First of all, read the docs carefully. If you still can't find an answer to
+your question, try checking the beginner's sections that many emulation pages
+have, or ask on the appropriate Usenet newsgroups (e.g. comp.emulators.misc) or
+on the official MAME message board at http://www.mame.net/msg/
+
+For help in compiling MAME, check these pages:
+http://www.mame.net/compile.html
+http://www.mameworld.net
+
+Also, DO NOT SEND REQUESTS FOR NEW GAMES TO ADD, unless you have some original
+info on the game hardware or, even better, own the board and have the technical
+expertise needed to help us.
+Please don't send us information widely available on the Internet - we are
+perfectly capable of finding it ourselves, thank you.

+Without the Repository, I would never have even tried to write an emulator.
+Unfortunately, the original Repository is now closed, but its spirit lives
+on in MAME.
