# License and Usage
All of the code in this repository is released under public domain. No attribution or
releasing of source code is required. No warranty of the code or functionality is implied.
However, open source would not flourish without contributions from users the world across.
Pull requests are therefore appreciated! Please note, however, that the code contained in this

or games which have not reached their end-of-life.
Similarly, while I cannot control what you decide to do with this software, it would be
very, very stupid to attempt to run this in a public arcade or convention, or to attempt
to use this with games that you or another person or business are charging money for. If
you do decide to do this anyway, do not advertise association with any of this software in
any form whatsoever. Attempting to use this software for commercial gain or to compete
publicly with official game support goes directly against the stated goals of this software.
