Re: [Qemu-devel] Re: [PATCH v3 22/25] ay8910: YM2608 core forked from MAME 0.59

[Roy Tam]

Version 0.37a of fmopl.c/h is relicensed to LGPL by Tatsuyuki
Satoh(original fmopl developer).
other versions are not. Especially newer versions by Jarek Burczynski
as he refused to relicense new fmopl to LGPL.
