I'll have a go at explaining Sylvain's point in different words. PR game engines: PR have clearly stated that these are GPL. PR game data, before Debian/Fedora's cleanup: PR have stated these are non-free. In the first few messages of that Happy Penguin thread, they state that the GPL covers the engine code only. PR game data, after Debian/Fedora's cleanup: No licensing statement from PR, other than the "non-free" (non-distributable) that covers the pre-cleanup data. > Unless there's another statement about PR's data? I think Sylvain's got a point, but it's a kick in the teeth for the folks who spent time packaging these games, and the folks who want to play them. Hopefully PR will clarify their position. > Given the above, I think we need to request a section change to > 'non-free' for blowars and blobandconquer. I think whatever is left after cleaning would be either free or undistributable, nothing in non-free. Given Hans talking to upstream, I think it's implied that what's left after cleaning should be distributable ( https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-games-list/2008-August/msg00030.html ); but I'm not the person to ask.
