we seem to have lost focus - this thread need a reboot the original topic was about the games, currently distributed by some FSDG distros, with a license which is _possibly_ non-free - we have yet to decide that is indeed the case we then speculated that there may be no libre games known to be compatible with ScummVM; and in that case, _maybe_ ScummVM itself becomes dubious - we can not seem to agree on that either; but that is not worth discussing yet - that is predicated on a conclusion that no libre games exist; which has not yet been concluded from there, it leaped to a proposal to "state officially that ScummVM has a problem" but then ruben offered an example of one libre game which does exist for ScummVM, which would resolve ScummVM's loneliness problem, if it has one ruben also suggested that such licenses are already deemed acceptable, referring to the precedent case of the OFL fonts license if we had stayed on topic, and concluded in the first place, that the game license is acceptable, the engine would never have been in question - without a resolution to the original topic, the game engine was a red herring so we should return to the original topic - is the "no-selling" license of "BASS" acceptable or not - if it is acceptable, nothing remains to discuss - if it is not acceptable, we should move to the original proposal (add it to the list fo software to avoid) - that would be good progress; because that itself is another important topic to discuss - namely: that list is dreadfully out-dated and needs a total review
