I'm one of these three :)

I would add something about the images. Some of them are from the
original game, and upstream authors does consider them to be free, as he
has changed them by modifying their depth level ... So he considers they
are no longer from the copyrighted game. I had a few mails with him, and
I think that the task of removing non-free stuff from this package is
beyond my abilities (and I think, beyond the abilities of a normal
human-being).

I would not even believe in that, sadly (on upstream author's behalf).
But it is still a great game.

Agreed.
