AFUA visited Thendic-France : Comment 378 of 629 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Frodon on 27-Apr-2002 13:40 GMT | In reply to Comment 372 (Samface): Hello,
You said:
"Developers may use a dump of an original system BIOS in developing an emulator, but the final or public release version of that emulator cannot require its use in order to function."
Most of the emulators out there use original system BIOS/ROM. And a law say that's legal IF the final user own the original ROM.
There is two way of making an emulator, the first one is to use the original ROM. This way is often the more efficient to allow the best compatibility.
The second way is to rewrite a compatible systeme using documented APIs or/and reverse engineering (Which is legal as said by Hermans) but not decompilation (illegal in some cases).
Both this two ways are legals. The MorphOS A/Box one is the second one.
