I'm trying to understand whether it can be included in Fedora or not. I've read
the legal guidelines on emulators[3] and the packaging guidelines on what can be
packaged[4]. I believe linapple can run without requiring any sort of boot/system ROM, so
I think this falls into the category of inclusion in Fedora. I want to follow the spirit
of Fedora's open source as much as possible. Can anyone with a better understanding of
the emulator requirements tell me whether linapple can be included or not?

https://github.com/linappleii/linapple/blob/master/inc/resource.h
contains a dump of a ROM, I suppose it's the Apple one, not a
free reimplementation. Thus I believe linapple is non-free.
Oof I missed that, thanks for catching it. Yes, I agree.
