says that game engine is open-source, so it should not go to non-free!

Yeah but AFAIK the game data isn't free, that's why fedora doesn't
include it and uses the autodownloader (I'll double check this) .
Anyway,  that's not the point here. :) it's more if everyone is okay
on including the game complete wether it's on core or non free,
instead of reusing the ioq3 engine.

I would say that packages which autodownload non-free material should be in nonfree (like get-skype). For the same reason that free packages which Require a package in nonfree should be in nonfree.

As for World of Padman, if it works well in Mageia, is redistributable, and there is someone to maintain it, I see no reason not to import it.
