I am part of the team that is working in bringing MAME to Debian and
Ubuntu, along with the best supporting tools and frontends.
While the most difficult part of the work (packaging, uploading and
getting MAME accepted in the official Debian archive) is done, we're now
trying to finish of the details.
I'd like to add catver.ini to a mame-data package, but for this we would
need it to have some kind of licence statement.
I've seen that history.dat is licenced under a Creative Commons 3.0
release. I suggest you do the same, and suggest the Attribution-ShareAlike
variant:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
Once the file has such a licence statement in its header, we'll be happy
to distribute it in official Debian and Ubuntu packages!
Thanks,
Jordi
