It doesn't matter if others also distribute these files. The only important question
is whether maemo.org is allowed to distribute them. If they are alowed to
do so since the files are out of copyright or since the vice team has a
transferrable permission to do so it's fine. But this should imho then clearly
be explained in the package description.

On what legal basis does maemo.org distribute all those rom files?
