Description

Hi! This n64 core is really nice. Good job getting this together! I am trying to make a package for this for OpenBSD, and have run into two little problems:

  • There is no release, or anything tagged. What version can I call this? Is it working toward a 1.0? I can provide a pseudo version number but if there is already a plan I'd rather make sure I follow what is planned.

  • License. I see mupen64plus parts licensed under GPLv2, and I see MAME license on some of the angrylion stuff, and the gliden64 directory I couldn't find anything for license at all. OpenBSD marks down license info in the port files that create the package, to help handle whether a package can be distributed publicly with the rest of the packages. Clarification here would be gratefully appreciated.

Research direction

Review the repository's release and tag history, then inspect the licensing information for the mupen64plus parts, angrylion code, and gliden64 directory mentioned in the issue. Document the versioning plan and applicable redistribution licenses so an OpenBSD package maintainer can identify both reliably.
