I've lately been taking a look if there aren't any packages which we can move 
to Fedora proper, and with simcoupe I've succeeded. I've managed to track down 
the copyright holder of the samcoupe rom (Andrew Wright) and he has given 
permission to freely redistribute it.

I've passed this by Spot and he has ok-ed it, so we're good to go to move 
simcoupe to Fedora. In order to get it legally cleared, the builtin copy of the 
rom had to be placed in an external file, as the rom comes without source and 
thus cannot be built into a GPL binary. I've already done this, created a 
seperate package for the rom and also cleaned up the SAASound package a bit to 
get it ready for inclusion. All 3 are submitted for review now, reviewers much 
appreciated:

Andrea, perhaps you want to review these? Also I would be more then happy to 
transfer them to you (as in you become the owner) once they are reviewed.

Regards,

Hans
