    Lure of the Temptress, PC DOS version         (C) Revolution Software Ltd 1992-

     1) You may distribute this game for free on any medium, provided this license
    and all associated copyright notices and disclaimers are left intact.

     2) You may charge a reasonable copying fee for this archive, and may distribute
    it in aggregate as part of a larger & possibly commercial software distribution
    (such as a Linux distribution or magazine coverdisk). You must provide proper
    attribution and ensure this license and all associated copyright notices, and
    disclaimers are left intact.

     3) You may not charge a fee for the game itself. This includes reselling the
    game as an individual item.

     4) You may modify the game as you wish.  You may also distribute modified
    versions under the terms set forth in this license, but with the additional
    requirement that the work is marked with a prominent notice which states that
    it is a modified version.

     5) All game content is (C) Revolution Software Ltd.

     6) THE GAMEDATA IN THIS ARCHIVE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
    IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING AND NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
    MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Anyway 2 and 3 in not DFSG ok. 2 because "reasonable copying fee" is not clear enough
and 3 since the DFSG #1 ("The license of a Debian component may not restrict any party
from selling...") 

Cheers,

    Gonéri
