When I referred to legality, that was in regards to trademark issues, as
Nintendo® and MAME® are registered trademarks with US Patent and
Trademark Office.
Nintendo is very aggressive towards protecting their rights, as you can
see on the links:
https://www.nintendo.com/corp/legal.jsp#emulator
And you can see on simple search that Nintendo is really doing that:
https://duckduckgo.com/html?q=nintendo+emulator+infringement&t=gnu
If a package is included in the GuixSD distribution that is named as
below, it clearly uses trademark in such manner that it can be
attacked.
That is what you need to check with attorneys, to either confirm what I
am claiming, or reject my claims. Do you understand?
