With MAME 0.139u2 (released on August 30th), the Voodoo emulation sourcecode in MAME has been licensed by Aaron Giles under a BSD license, which is compatible with GPL, intentionally for those working on adding something like it to DOSBox.
I worked behind the scenes to make sure the request for assistance didn't fall into the spam-bucket, and I thought it likely Aaron would be able to help. This isn't the first time his MAME code has been "dual-licensed", if I recall correctly. Much of his code or the code that he's extensively rewritten has been licensed that way.

This is something, incidentally, I've wanted for a long time. Good luck, everybody! 😀 We now return you to your regularly scheduled DOSBox program...
