Hi All,
I've just packaged this cool recently set free old style
adventure game drascula, including music and subtitles
in French, German, Spanish and Italian.
Well I am reading this in drascula-music's readme.txt:

Sounds like a "non-free" package to me.
The license for this package has been vetted ok by Spot,
This clause definitely doesn't threat Fedora, because Fedora doesn't
ship the "the game itself", but as part of a larger bundle."
This clause only threatens those people who want to sell the package
=> IMO, this is a master piece of a "non-commercial use only clause".
that is the
readme.txt contains the *exact* same license text as many other
games set free in cooperation between the original right holders and
the scummvm project,
Their legitmate right .... it doesn't mean anything wrt. to the OSI or
other OSS working principles.
>and this license has been approved for Fedora,
see:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2006-November/msg00020.html
Well, IMO legal has failed or didn't review carefully.
They likely looked at whether this license is threatening Red Hat. They
likely didn't look at "freedom of Software".
