I would write "various free-distribution licenses; see README.txt and
README-REPLACEMENTS.txt in the distribution".

(and the main game code is "GPLv3 or newer" so write that as "GPLv3+").

The files I looked at are README.txt and README-REPLACEMENTS.txt and
the directory with license texts in it is called licenses/

I do apologize for the ambiguity of my question. not the greatest
question asker.
I took a look in the upstream source tarball for the data. the files
do have their own separate licences. most of the data is  licensed
under zlib. The files that are not under the zlib license are
specified in a separate readme file and have a folder with all the
license texts. so the first case is the one I need to pick. I guess I
have some reading todo lol!

Thanks,
Mitch

What you're saying is highly ambiguous: do the individual data files have
separate licences ? In that case, the most restrictive is appropriate.

Or do you see several licences that apply to all files ? In that case,
this means the data can be redistributed under any of the licences. In that
case, the least restrictive is appropriate.



what to set for PERMIT_PACKAGE in port

2018-06-08 Thread mitchell wodach
Hi

I'm working on porting Freedink. I have the data separate form the game code.
The data has multiple licenses. so for PERMIT_PACKAGE  in Makefile I should
pick the most restrictive  license?

Thanks,

Mitch
