libopenspc only includes the SPC portion of the emulator... I'm certainly not
shipping any mysterious .dat files -- it's also a separate project from
SNEeSe, though the same developer works on both it and SNEeSe's sound core
(homepage is http://home.comcast.net/~brad.martin1/) . It is released under
the Clarified Artistic (the SNEeSe bits) and the LGPL (the actual library
interface). I guess I'll leave this up to the wizards of -legal -- I'm not
any good at this sort of thing...
Philipp Kern is my mentor for this package and xmms-openspc.
-legal, please CC me, I'm not subscribed.
