I've just spot that some drivers has been removed because licenses hasn't been resolved. Any plans to rewrite those ?

Yes. These machine drivers will need to be rewritten/refactored by someone else or the original contributors will need to take notice that their work has put aside and approach the development team in order for their code to be added once more properly attributed. In the end there is very little loss in that previous versions can always be used by end users and progress is made toward full project relicensing.
Good times are ahead.

Not really - As I mentioned earlier I've just spot removing drivers but didn't look closely what drivers has been removed in past days and what have been already rewritten.
Could You post what has been already rewritten and what needs to be rewritten and already removed, please?

Since removing some drivers in mame 172 pass some time I take a look at mameinfo and found following games removed:
marinedt
flower (in progress by Angelo Salese)
popper
sprcros2 (rewritten by Angelo Salese)
carjmbre (rewritten by hap)
toypop and librabl (rewritten by Angelo Salese)
are any other games/drivers removed or removed but rewritten ? I'm planning to update my arcade PC from version 171 soon but I don't know for what games I must keep mame 171.

You're only missing former MESS drivers from your list.
- glasgow.cpp (skeletonized by Micko, partially restored by Robbbert)
- supercon.cpp (rewritten by hap)
- svi318.cpp (rewritten by Duke)
Our own document tracking all this is here:
https://github.com/mamedev/roadmap/blob/master/for_rewrite.md
but it might be a bit confusing if you go all back through its history.
