keep in mind that the revised license only applies to MAME 0.172 and above.
most of the Pi builds are much older and are still under the old 'no commercial use' clause.
The new builds do not perform well on a Pi. Only a tiny number of games give even close to acceptable performance.
I've noticed a number of people interpreting the license change as meaning they can sell / kickstart / whatever Pi based MAME devices still running the anicent retropi/piplay/mame4all builds. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. The license change is not retroactive, nor does it make new releases of old versions available for commercial use, those all still exist under the old licence only.
