You are welcome!

Try talking with upstream about his plans. I think it may be good for him to
know there is interest in his project.

There is another problem I'd like to point out. 

There reason why gens-gs must currently go to nonfree is because of the
starscream license is incompatible with GPLv2+:

What about talking with upstream about not using starscream? After all, the
internet is full of CPU emulators (and GPL licensed ones). An emulator written
in C would also be great for portability.
