[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 520003] Re: Teeworlds license is non-free. It should be in multiverse.

[Ansgar Burchardt]

The Artistic license has also a similar clause:

"5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package.
You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you may
distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly commercial)
programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software distribution
provided that you do not advertise this Package as a product of your
own. [...]"

It allows charging a copying fee, but not selling the software itself.

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.
