I think, all rooms except "Robby Roto", based on
sdlmame-data-roms-README.ROMs, you may read it on sdlmame-data-roms
branch F-16, sdlmame-data-roms/F-16/sdlmame-data-roms-README.ROMs
"Due to copyright, we are only able to provide the Robby Roto romset, as
it is the only one in the Public Domain.

There are some other romsets available for non-commercial use here:
http://www.mamedev.org/roms/

When it comes to others, you need to dump them from your PCBs."

I can guarantee, that rom "Robby Roto" was distributed for several years
in rpmfusion and I'm not aware of any problem.

Best,
