I think there are 2 distinct issues: - illegaly distributed data (mainly musics, sounds) - which needs to be removed in any case - data created by Parallel Realities that they explicitely declared non-free as seen above (levels, texts, 3D models, etc.) > In any case, do not ask for removal of blobwars and blobandconquer! Given the above, I think we need to request a section change to 'non-free' for blowars and blobandconquer. Unless there's another statement about PR's data? Their tarballs completely lack copyright/license info about the data, so right now the (only) website statement is canonical. -- Sylvain _______________________________________________ Games mailing list Games@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/games
