What if we could just be honest and ask the authors to make the software donation ware or shareware. Then we could support them and still keep the legal end ok. We need to support software or good people won't write it. We could ask them to donate some software if they really want to get out of the platform or open source it. That way others could benefit from their hard work. The retro games would be nice running on new hardware if it comes. Or on old hardware. too.
