Another lesson learned, thanks for all the corrections... (I'm pretty
sure I haven't seen all of them).
I really should have read the DFSG a *little* more carefully. For
anybody who missed it like me, here's the clause that I *thought*
makes bzflag non-free, but in fact makes its license ok:
1. Free Redistribution
The license of a Debian component may not restrict any party from
selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate
software distribution containing programs from several different
sources. The license may not require a royalty or other fee for such
sale.
It doesn't forbid forbidding the sale of the package *separately* from
a distribution, as both the AL and bzflag's license do...
... hey!!! That means bzflag's gonna be in main!!! Yay!
(Really, I'm rarely happy when I'm wrong, but this time I am)
Bye, J
