Unfortunately, no one ever gave a reason for having them in PLF besides
&quot;that's because emulators goes to PLF&quot;, despites having zsnes and snes9x
in contribs since years.

Among the potential reasons would be :
- copyright violation due to proprietary rom/bios ( which need to be
checked on a case by case basis )
- copyright due to logo/names/brand ( again, that would be a case by
case )
- fear of being attacked due to the bleem! story in 1999
( <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleem!">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleem!</A> ).

The 3rd option would be perfectly suited given the highly &quot;historical&quot;
nature of the reason.

Nowadays, the only important story I can find would be this one :
<A HREF="http://mashable.com/2011/05/30/emulators-banned-android-market/">http://mashable.com/2011/05/30/emulators-banned-android-market/</A> , and
there isn't much information, besides the supposition this could be a
TOS violation.
