Re: CCLP level packs are nonfree
Hi all,
Sorry but this didn't jump out at me when reading the License and
Credits sections of README.md.
Newby questions what could be an improvement:
Add Files-Excluded in its d/copyright? and update branches (source,
pristine-tar) with content excluding those files?
Or is it possible to build an extra binary tworld-data-ccpl package in
the non-free/games section by the same packaging
and having a kind of the following rule in the d/copyright?
Files: data/CCLP*.*
License: non-free
Or any other pictures...
