For some strange reason I thought > about you first... ;) Haha, note to self: Stop being so cheerful and you can avoid a lot of work. :P Just kidding. Looks like an outstanding game and a challenge. It appears the UFO developers care a lot about tracking and documenting licenses. A very promising and highly active project. If this page was correct, http://ufoai.org/licenses/, we would only face issues with content that is licensed under CC-BY-SA-2.0 and CC-BY-SA-2.5. We are talking about eight sound files and seventeen images. I am optimistic here and think it should be doable to remove or replace them. I had a brief look at the source code with licensecheck -r and it seems everything is licensed under the GPL without exceptions. Possibly the greatest problem is the huge size of the data files. The source tarball is uncompressed ~900 MB large. If we were lucky we could compress all files by 20-25 %. I haven't followed the discussion about data.debian.org and i am not sure if we need it for UFO. In short, looks like a promising and complex free software game which could improve our games portolio for sure. Regards, Markus
