As for this petition, I doubt SEGA would support this. If they aren't going to profit somewhat from it, they wouldn't embrace it.
Well, I mean, they have given AtGames pretty much free reign to make clones of their most popular consoles (in the West) for about five or so years now. Look at all the Genesis or Genesis derived clones they've come out with, and a couple Master System/Game Gear ones too.
That's because before 2012, SEGA wasn't protecting the Genesis name and the Master System name.
Also, the patents for both machines had already expired in 1999, so there's no patent infringement.
I sent you a PM, we can discuss things further there.
