Consult "Fedora Legal" if you think these games packages ought to be
banned:  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal

I'm not in the position to decide whether something, which has been
considered free enough for Fedora, may lead someone external into ignoring
the licence terms which must be included within the packages and within
the original source archives. The same person might also fetch the
archives from the original publisher's site or SCUMM's site or a "magazine
coverdisk" and do something with it that would be considered a violation
of the licence terms (which do not even comment on the music files
specifically, but just "the game").

Which of the terms says this?
