there is the following extra clause in a README file:

Is this something that makes incompatible with Fedora's licensing
requirements?
It isn't consistent with the GPL which the total package is supposed
to be under, so it's an invalid license add-on, or the total package
is not GPL.
I doubt it. It may be clumsy wording but I read it as "look, Maelstrom is
GPL, this also goes for the graphics and stuff" i.e. just a clarification,
not a license clause at all. The GPL already forbids you to remove the
license from a package, so I don't think it's GPL incompatible.
It actually says you may redistribute the artwork and sound separately as
long as you send a copy of GPL with it, which is exactly what the GPL
already mandates.
