MAME is now Free and Open Source Software

Possibly, LGPL or MPL?

You can link it with whatever proprietary code you want, but keep the LGPL library free. As long as you don't want to link LGPL-licensed library statically, it's quite simple to comply with license terms.

There's also MPL (v2), that's weaker than LGPL, roughly operates on file-level (rather than LGPL's library-level).

I've seen projects use LGPL with a added static linking exception (as in allowing it).

I'm fine with static linking, it's even fine if you want to #include my source code. I never paid much attention to the MPL, will see, thanks.
