what Haze of course forgot to mention is that he's been asked several times to rectify any incorrect license attributed to his code (instead of threatening that he could ask MAMEUI builds to be removed because of code he owns) and he still refuses to do so, and the fact that many old contributors have been contacted and in most cases they just replied "relicense my code to whatever license the majority of devs agree with, if there is still any such code in MAME" and not along the lines of "how did you dare to change the license without asking my permission" in due time, I think most code in MAME will be properly attributed and we could see whether to stick with MAME license or to change a larger part of the source to a different license.
in conclusion, I'm not sure what Haze's goal is, at this stage, but surely it does not seem the best for the project
