Ingo Ruhnke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: RoboVasion
System name: robovasion
Type: non-GNU

Description:
RoboVasion will be a Real Time Strategie game somewhat similar to Warcraft, Starcraft, 
Command&Conquer or Total Annihilation, meaning the player will controll a handfull of 
units, build a base, build more units and attack the other party. RoboVasion will use 
the Freecraft engine as a base and add new graphics and game rules as necessary. The 
game will take place in a futuristic environment with robot-drones and other hightech. 
Due to the throuble with Blizzard in the last few days, it is required to rename the 
Freecraft engine before actually using it inside RoboVasion, see:

http://happypenguin.org/newsitem?id=3801

Beside the name there doesn't seem to be a legal problem with the Freecraft engine and 
the shutdown by the last maintainers seems to be more due to a lack of motivation, 
than due to actually throuble with Blizzard. The latest source code of Freecraft is:

http://www.ffh.us/eric/freecraft-cvsroot.tar.gz

The currently temporary Webpage of RoboVasion is at:

http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/tmp/robovasion/webpage/welcome.html

RoboVasion will reuse the Freecraft engine directly (after renaming and some cleanup), 
instead of requiring the user to download it seperatly, which isn't possible at the 
moment since the original Freecraft project has been shutdown. A later clean split 
between the engine and RoboVasion is planed, but will most likly happen under a new 
project.
