--- Comment #2 from Tom "spot" Callaway <tcall...@redhat.com> ---
Fedora has a strict set of rules around emulators
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#Emulators). PCSX2
fails this one:
Emulators which depend on firmware or ROM files to function may not be
included in Fedora, unless the copyright holder(s) for the firmware/ROM files
give clear permission for
the firmware/ROM files to be distributed (either under a Fedora permissible
license or under the Fedora firmware exception criteria). Note: This only
covers the situation where
an emulator will not run at all without firmware/ROM files. For example,
emulators that compile and run, but ship with no game ROMs are not covered by
this rule.
PCSX2 does not function without a copy of a PS2 BIOS. While this BIOS is not
included in PCSX2 for legal reasons, the fact that PCSX2 depends on it is a
problem. PCSX2 cannot do anything without this BIOS file.
