As other people mentioned here, it is *technically* DFSG compliant, and really all this debate has just been about semantics, and I'd avoid bringing it up again with the copyright holder (matricks) as he stated, he's spent more time arguing license semantics than developing the game, and threatened to close source it.
As it stands, I see no reason for this package not to be included in main, referring to:
"I still don't feel that it's DFSG-free, but if there are already packages in the archive with similar clauses, ftpmasters will probably consider it DFSG-free. It's OK for me, I don't consider it such a serious issue as to arguing its inclusion in main, I was just curious about whether it was considered free enough or not." and "Talked to Jörg Jaspert about that (you need to do something during work time, don't you?), and this clause is indeed free (since it's so ridiculous easy to circumvent^W fullfill). So for the sake of gaming, bundle it with any kind of script, and be done with it." If there are any other issues, please email me back. Thanks for your time, Jack Coulter Paul Wise wrote:

Also licence proliferation is bad.Aside from that, is this package suitable for inclusion? Are there any changes I need to make?I suggest joining the Debian Games Team, adding your package there and helping out with other games (we need more contributors).
