Hi, The legal issue was resolved to the best of my knowledge, the blocker now is filesize of the urbanterror-data package, I believe there were plans to create a data.debian.org repository for large packages of static, arch-independent data, but I'm not sure if it was implemented yet.

And so, what is the state of this ITP ? Did you found an achievement, is this game (which looks great) going to be packaged ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The package is technically completed, however there are some licensing issues with upstream (The way they distribute it constitutes a GPL violation *apparently* as although the engine is GPL (ioQuake3) the actual mod is under a GPL incompatible license (Quake3SDK). When this is resolved, some issue remain, such as the size of the package; it is unlikely the FTP masters would accept such a large package as it would take up ~1.3gb (710mb orig, 590mb final deb (LZMA compressed)) Until these issues are resolved the packages are hosted on my PPA (It states the packages are for Ubuntu Hardy, but they'll install and run just fine on Debian). The sources.list entries are: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jscinoz/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/jscinoz/ubuntu hardy main.

Moin Moing, the question of a GPL violation has been already discussed before in the Urban Terror forum: http://forums.urbanterror.net/index.php?topic=9651.0 Without achieving a consent of course.

Moin Moing, I got the developer of ioUrbanTerror to answer on that comment http://ioquake3.org/2007/12/23/urban-terror-41/#comments (both Anonymous comments are from woekele), so it seems to be fine from that side. The circumvention of the GPL by the qvm plugin is something to debate but not from me. Ciao, Fabio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Moin Moing, while Urban Terror does not rely on the Quake III Arena game data anymore, there is currently still a legal conflict between the (closed source!) Mod licence they use for iourbanterror, which is actually based on the GPL licenced ioquake3 engine, as written in the comments here: http://happypenguin.org/show?Urban%20Terrorshowall=1#comments no it isn't. the q3-sdk-license says, that modifications may only be used with the original quake 3 arena game. and ioquake3/iourbanterror clearly is not quake 3 arena. they do distribute their game as standalone with the ioq3-executable, so they have to put the game source under GPL as well. if they don't want that they have to stop calling it standalone and distributing the executable. - caedes Ciao, Fabio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist This will consist of two source packages, urbanterror and urbanterror-data, the former of which will be the game engine that is compiled, the latter is the static data files (e.g. maps, sounds, textures, etc.). The urbanterror source package will compile both client and server binary packages. I was previously aiming to get this included in Ubuntu Hardy but I didn't manage it due to the feature freeze, and I was advised to submit it to Debian instead. The game engine is licensed under GPL version 2. The data files are under various licenses (maps and such are contributed by many individuals) but all are free to distribute. The Quake 3 QVM (file zpak000.pk3) is under the Quake 3 SDK EULA which permits online distribution for non-commercial purposes, just to be safe, this file isn't included in the package, rather a license prompt is displayed pre-install and on acceptance, downloads this file (which is only 1.2mb) The game can be downloaded from http://www.urbanterror.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
