This is interesting as well, first line says:
/* borrowed from AppleWin */

I suppose it means that MAME took it from the apple // emulator called AppleWin. and. what's the AppleWin license?

Does it apply to this case?

Where have you taken this from?

More exactly, how is this not violating copyright, since MAME's license is
not compatible with anything else (more or less)?
