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"). > >>>> The clause I cited, restricts commercial use of the SW itself.
