An alternative could be persuading upstream to relicense both engine
(client+server) and data in a DFSG-free manner.
For instance, everything could be re-released under the ZLIB license
(and provided with source code, of course!).
Let's not give up before even trying!
Cube looks impressive, but there are other games that are both
technically good *and* DFSG-free: I don't see a reason why Cube should
"of course" be non-free...
