A collection of X,Y, and Z isn't a derivate work of X, Y, and Z.
Agreed, but how does "distribution must be free of charge, except normal
access fees" which seems to be our only debating point stop you from
shipping it in a collection?
Your collection may not be sold for what someone considers 'normal
access fees'. On one hand, you have Cheapbytes and friends. On the
other hand, someone sells a $400 set-top box that plays whatever
games are in Extras. The first example given would probably fall
under 'normal access fees'; the second one would almost certainly not,
and would require the hypothetcial distributor to prune Extras
for license specifics for each package.
And thus the story ends with the conclusion that quake shareware data
cannot be part of FE. Something I already kinda knew, but wanted to
really know. This is one dance that needed dancing, thanks for dancing
it with me Bill.

Hans
