Only the engine has been GPL'd; all the artwork is still copyright Id Software. The only way you're legally allowed to use it is from purchasing the game itself. There's no reason why the engine itself can't be included in Debian, as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't absolutely *have* to have game data, to begin with(if you also care to look at the package as an educational one, anyways). Not only that, but in time there will be fully Free artwork available which people can then download and use with the engine. Come on ... this is a cool-factor thing, at least partially :) Having Quake II source in Debian would be pretty spiffy, if you ask me. And like I said, it'd be nice to be able to 'apt-get source quake2' and read what they've written. -- .--=====-=-=====-=========----------=====-----------=-=-----=. / David Barclay Harris Aut agere, aut mori. \ \ Clan Barclay Either action, or death. / `-------======-------------=-=-----=-===-=====-------=--=----'
