A dead upstream effectively requires that the Debian maintainer (you) become the upstream - are you ready to take on that task? The first task will be to rewrite the non-free components as free. Upstream has that ability and responsibility, so that means you. > The non-free part is not a wallpaper or some background > music, but the game levels.

In that case, the new upstream for the game (you) can write some new levels that are free. It seems pointless to consign the game to non-free when for the sake of a few game levels, it could be in main. The "game" is not non-free, so package the game and a few new levels and invite people to contribute new levels that are under the same licence as the game itself. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
