Sauerbraten game content has a commercial use restriction that prevents
it from being included in Fedora. It has been explicitly listed in the
"will not package" list though third party repos can and probably will
package this. Maybe we can package a subset and use the autodownloader
to pull in more content optionally.

I saw claims in the SMC website that they have cleaned up their content
in recent versions. Game similarity by itself shouldn't prevent a game
from being included.
Similarity shouldn't but SMC has all the original artwork redrawn, it is not
new artwork, remember those semi transparent papers you used in your early
school days, which you would lay over a drawing and then copy the drawing like
that? SMC is very much like that.
I just took a look and they have finally replaced the main character by
something original. but the enemies and the level blocks still look like
straight copies (they are not they are redrawn, but is that enough to claim its
an original work?)
We could ask Spot to be sure.

Hans
