What you missed is the part where you can cheat this by simply bundling it
with something else. The SIL Open Font License has something vaguely similar:
you're required to redistribute fonts licensed in such a manner with a

Similarly, without the movie there is no movie.
When I say "non-functional", I mean that these parts of the game don't do
anything. The game engine (i.e. the program that allows you to play the game)
does do a practical job. The game data, on the other hand, is artistic, so we
don't need to treat it the same as a computer program.
In particular, though it isn't likely due to the way ScummVM is written
(apparently a lot of hacks for individual games; I haven't looked at the
source code myself), it is perfectly possible to use ScummVM as a base to
create a new game. Similarly, the Freedoom project was made possible by the
Doom engine being free, even though the Doom non-functional data remains
nonfree.
