Come on qwerty12. You know full well this isn't "internet lawyering"-- it's once burned, twice shy. Do you really want a repeat of the last copyright debacle? We almost lost zerojay as a contributor due to the frustration he needlessly went through.

Most emulator providers are doing the right thing, and it's easy: don't include proprietary objects with your package. Done. Tell customers to get acquainted with Google.

How is that an issue?
