Hello debian-legal readers. I'm going to package Warzone 2100 game, which was published on GPL license not so far ago. After some discussions with current developers (which aren't copyright holders) I have some questions wrt included data files. Below is original announce published by copyright holders. Could you please help us to determine what is current state of data files? Are they free or not?
