Bug#643595: ITP: snes9x -- Cross-platform SNES emulator



Hi Sergio!

>From the snes9x license file [1]:


  Snes9x is freeware for PERSONAL USE only. Commercial users should
  seek permission of the copyright holders first. Commercial use
  includes, but is not limited to, charging money for Snes9x or
  software derived from Snes9x, including Snes9x or derivatives in
  commercial game bundles, and/or using Snes9x as a promotion for your
  commercial product.

Thus, the license is clearly non-free and I'm pretty sure we can't
include snes9x under these circumstances. Please seek some legal
advice with the Debian Legal team first before we can continue
working on the package.

Cheers,
Adrian
