Hi, I'm in the process of packaging the Red Eclipse FPS game for Debian, and I would like to get an OK-or-no for the included pieces of content, taken from http://www.quadropolis.us/node/3029 The content has been explicitly tagged, by the author, as "Public Domain" from a choice of several (free software) licenses in the upload form[0]. In addition, the comment "feel free to edit, claim it's yours, use in own projects. no credit required." was added to the description. My question is if Debian would accept this "license" as OK for non-free. (which is where the RE-data package will end up for now (lack of art source material)). I.e. is it formally correct to interpret the "license" as PD, and the comment as just a comment (as is obviously the authors intent), meaning it's free to distribute. Or would one need to interpret the comment as the actual license, which would mean needing to bother the author to modify it to explicitly allow "distribution"?
