Bringing Imagination To Life
I have written permission to package this for Debian and all Debian
derivatives. The cube2 license they refer to is:
Moviecube is a Machinima tool based on the Sauerbraten game engine,
both of which are
covered under the ZLIB license. You may use the source code so long as you
obey this license, for further information see:
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/zlib-license.php
Is this a non-free program or could it fit into main?
Thank you.
Regards,
Scott Howard
