Where to put Open Transport Tycoon (openttd)



Hey,

I am making Debian packages of openttd and am thinking of getting them
uploaded into Debian. Though it is licensed under GPL, I was wondering in what
section it belongs.
There are two reasons for this.

First, openttd is non-working on itself, it needs the user to supply it with
data files from the original ttd game (sounds and graphics).
Secondly, I am not entirely sure where openttd originated from. I believe it
was based on a disassembly or decompile of the original ttd game. I am not
entirely sure how this holds up under, for example, US copyright law. The
initial version of openttd was created in Finland, where this is supposed to
be perfectly legal.

Your opinions?

Gr.
