Upstream is Japanese and not very fluent in English. I'll probably go
for es-shooter or something like that, as soon as I have some time to
at least get rid of the current music and voices in the game. The rest
of the sounds are DFSG-free. The game will probably be less appealing
without the music, but then again, you are free to be listening
whatever music you want when playing it, so I have some kind of
ideological problem about replacing the music with a free one (I have
green light from upstream to do so, we've already talked about it) or
maybe just removing it,

Dunno what I will do yet about it. Another possibility might be to
package the game without the music (still gotta checke that there
won't be SEGFAULTs due to that), and suggest a non-free package with
the original music in case someone wants it. Any help is welcome (It's
coded in D), but in any case it's quite high priority in my TODO list
so I guess I can do that on my own :)

There are 3 games in total in that situation, from the same author: HIZ
