If you look more closely you'll notice that this clause is also present
in the OFL in the same way which is considered free by both, the FSF and
Debian. Point being that you can easily bundle the software and then be
allowed again to sell.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: teeworlds

Hello

In the copyright file of teeworlds, the 4th item in the license:

4. Neither this software nor any of its individual components, in original
or modified versions, may be sold by itself.

This makes teeworlds non-free software, because as stated in http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html : "you should be free to redistribute copies, either with or without modifications, either gratis or charging a fee for distribution, to anyone anywhere."

Please move it to the multiverse repository.
