MAME has a weird license, but AROS seems fine.
I had never read any of the MAME License until now. interesting, basically open source but absolutely no distributing it for commercial uses.
More on topic;
Awesome! SDL for AGA should help make a lot of things that are open source be easier to port.
I'm probably going to be creating a separate post for this, but I'm working on some details. But I have been thinking about ways in which we can improve the Amiga community as a whole and get more software written for the platform(s). I'm wanting to dive into learning programming, and would prefer to do it on my Amiga, but there are so many road blocks to doing so. Namely setting up a development environment isn't exactly easy.
I want a development environment much like Qt, where you can write once, and compile for multiple platforms. How nice would it be to add AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4.x, AROS, MorphOS and others to the QtCreator, so that we can just select which OS to compile for, and push a button and let it build binaries.
Especially with SDL being available, it should be fairly simple to have a 'write once run everywhere' like Java attempted to accomplished. (well okay, fairly simple is probably very subjective... but still...
)
