If the game engine can be split from the media in question then it is
*other* software and the aim of this licence is to require particular
licence terms on it, which will break DFSG #9.

Copyright law generally doesn't work on a project level and that's a
feature, not a bug, because it allows us to rescue good code from
being aggregated with restricted works.
