The license says:
A software can be downloaded, used, modified and redistributed in compliance with the license under which it is received. The changes you make, provided you do not compromise the same license criteria, can be released with other license provided it does not compromise the components or parts of them are part of the material released under G.P.L.
Notwithstanding that, the undersigned, has no intention to profit from it, or to sell something. I like to have a system installed and immediately ready. My willingness to share it is only resulting from my attention to G. P. L.
As all my other work, be it software or artistic, (images, videos and music for videogames opensource) was released under the GPL or Creative Commons license.
That said I can only support the thought of Buzz that if I am not mistaken, in addition to being an administrator of this forum, belongs to the Retropie development team.

@Devil78 that's why I believe that you're doing the right thing by asking permission that way there's no dissension in the process but like I said there's no reason why he should say no so we'll just wait patiently for your release hopefully that's very soon I can't wait to test it out on our hardware in our cabinet :)

@LinuxArcadeGuy said in Retropie x86:
@BuZz first of all I never said anything about selling that's a no-no when it to comes to emulation what's wrong with you? also the author of this product has no intention of selling it he'll put it up for free just like everything else of retropie. and to be honest open source does me no copyright because you can't copyright something that's open source, GPL3 allows for duplication and distribution and reworking of works.
Nothing is wrong with me thanks. I used the selling as an example of other licence restrictions.
You are wrong about copyright. We decided to release the RetroPie-Setup script under the GPL. Software can be made available under more than one licence too. You will often see code available under the GPL saying it is copyrighted to the author etc.

@LinuxArcadeGuy The rights of the logo are owned by @petrockblog . The logo is made available under
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/It states regarding the use "You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use. " which would suggest that using the official logo to represent another site is not allowed so it is correct to get permission from the rights holder.

@BuZz that's why I'm very glad that he's doing it the proper way, if there's restrictions they're for a good reason, but in truth in law there's no real copyright for GPL or open source, all it would do is just piss off the retro pie creators and make them determined to find a way to remove the modified version from existence, but like I said he's going through the proper channels and doing it the right way that shouldn't be a problem but let's just wait patiently and get ready to enjoy an awesome distribution :)

@Devil78 Any word back on this?
-
@wmcclelion back on what?
-
@wmcclelion No sorry, i'm waiting @petRockBlog for a reply about this.
-
Can this image be booted as a live cd or does it require install?
-
It can be booted as a LiveCD and/or be Installed!

I am also quite interested in Retropie for x86. How is your approach regarding the selection of emulators? Lots of current emulators seem to be versions that are especially tweaked for ARM. For example the playstation emulator pcxse-rearmed. It compiles and runs fine also on x86 but there might be better alternative when targeting x86?
-
The emulators are compiled from source so they works correctly in the X86 Systems.
-
Where did you learn "making a distro for Linux?"
-
Any updates on the permission status? I mean all the Rpie team have to do is answer an email and say yes...
-
I'm still waiting for a reply! :(
-
Wouldn't it just be easier to drop the logo from top of the site?
-
Why does x86 have to be on a separate site at all? Wouldn't it be cool to have it all under one roof?
Questions from a biased x86-lover :) -
Maybe you should find another email address to send to, cause maybe it got stuck in their spam folder I mean it's been a while now you think they reply already if they cared maybe they don't care like most open source programs they don't care if she's long as you don't abuse their software
-
I mean I think you're being a bit excessive there is a retro pie build that uses attract mode as it's front-end in addition to emulation station and the author did not ask permission he just does it in good faith, his information is in the attract mode forums you could probably ask him for information on what he did in order to get permission or not
