Profiles, the wiki, comments, docstrings, command output and schema descriptions carried em-dashes, clause-joining semicolons, unicode arrows, box-drawing banners and check-mark glyphs. Each sentence was rewritten rather than having its character swapped. Hashes, paths, source_ref values and every cited file:line are unchanged, which a comparison of each parsed profile against the previous revision confirms. validate_pr comments now say PASS and FAIL in words, and source_ref values in a profile's structured blocks render as code. test_prose_style fails if any of these comes back, in tracked files or in the generated site.

RetroBIOS - status of the distributed files
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
This repository holds two kinds of material with two different statuses.
|
|
|
|
1. Tooling and metadata
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Everything authored here - the Python scripts, JSON schemas, emulator
|
|
profiles, platform configurations, documentation and the generated database -
|
|
is released under the MIT License in LICENSE.
|
|
|
|
2. BIOS, firmware, keys and ROM sets
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The files under bios/ and inside the release packs are third-party system
|
|
software. They remain the property of their respective manufacturers, are not
|
|
covered by the MIT License, and no licence to them is granted or implied by
|
|
this repository.
|
|
|
|
They are preserved and made available for personal backup, archival, and
|
|
interoperability with emulation software. The reasoning the project relies on
|
|
is set out in the FAQ:
|
|
|
|
https://abdess.github.io/retrobios/wiki/faq/#is-this-legal
|
|
|
|
That reasoning is the project's good-faith position, not legal advice, and it
|
|
has not been tested in court.
|
|
|
|
Reporting a file
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
A rights holder, or anyone acting for one, who wants a specific file removed
|
|
can open an issue at
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/Abdess/retrobios/issues
|
|
|
|
identifying the file by path or hash. Requests are handled on receipt, and a
|
|
file whose removal is requested by its rights holder is removed from the
|
|
repository and from the next release without requiring a formal notice. State
|
|
the file and the basis of the claim. No particular format is needed.
