Dmitry, I finally got STK 9 to run at all. They had to patch it for
those of us running nVidia drivers without xrandr. So, as soon as I
cranked it up, I had to swear that I was 13 or older to access it's web
features. I guess that is so they can monetize development in the
future. Once I agreed, then the game proceeded. There you have it, you
cannot login without agreement to it's terms of service, and replying to
a confirmation email. Otherwise, I assume you are restricted to a few
race-tracks that I have already played and there are no bikini's in
sight, that I could find.
So, from what I can see, this entire brouhaha has been about nothing,
and all we managed to do was to jerk around some good folks who chose to
use Open Source in their development scheme and gave us gracious
permission to re-package it for consumption of Debian Users, who are
perfectly capable of making their own moral choices. Ric
