I always thought Red Reclipse was in non-free because of Red Eclipse's mark license which had required to rename the game to Blue Eclipse or something. Martin, perhaps you can write a short comment about it in the copyright license and point out why you decided to move Red Eclipse to non-free and what people have to do to make it acceptable for main? > (I was going to include my own definition above, but then I realized > that nobody would actually care, and I have better things to do than > to rant about the status quo.) I think we should be careful with claiming that people are not interested in different opinions and why games are in the non-free section. I bet there are a lot of people like me before who are lurking in the shadows of the internet trying to find more information about specific games in Debian and eventually find some pieces of information here on this list. So every comment on topic is valuable, a source of information for all people and it can also help to start a new initiative or keep things alive. Regards, Markus (who is making popcorn now and eagerly awaits the rant to come) ;-)
