[Scummvm-devel] PSP port

[Joost Peters]

The port solely uses the free/open-source PSPSDK (see the PSPSDK 
README[1] for a more detailed explaination on what PSPSDK is) and other 
libraries which are already linked into other ports of ScummVM (newlib, 
SDL, libmad, libmpeg2, zlib, etc.).
Neither the port nor PSPSDK uses any proprietary Sony code or SDKs, so 
there should be no legal issues in that regard.

The License[2] PSPSDK is released under doesn't seem problematic to me 
either, but then I'm not an expert on these matters.
