So let me see if I can lay this out right. The clauses added in to help give the emulation teams some legal recourse of 'see we do not allow that' has basically made it so the people they did not want to piss off cant use the code at all. Interesting conundrum. Guess back then the idea of the companies would use this code was not floated. Crazy...
But yeah, use something GPL, MIT, or BSD based. Should make everything nice and legal and much easier.
