This is not a case of a program restri= cted to push someone into proprietary software, but a case of a program restricted to not-for-profit for everybody. It is a similar case as allowing to ship GPLv3 software in a ROM without the option to modify it, as long as no one is able to modify it on that medium, including the propagator. In the case of snes9x no one is able to monetize the software, including the creators, because many people have a stake in the non-commercial clause, but the software is freely modifiable and you can share it non-commercially. It is also not advertised (I just tried) but simply one in a long list of possible cores. A very long list. And you have to actively do the online-lookup. We=E2=80=99re not restricting software which displays non-free online comics either. Installing the fastest and most compatible free software cores by default (pre-installed) would minimize the effect of cores bound to non-commercial use being available online without restricting the users in using RetroArch =E2=80=94 and it would make retroarch more convenient to= use.
