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

[mclaud2000]

Thanks for your comments, but I still think the license of the Teeworlds
program is free, here's my to your comments:

Christoph Egger: I read the OFL and the commentary of the FSF at
http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/index_html#Fonts but the FSF nor
SIL  recommend to use it for software, only for fonts.

Ansgar Burchardt: You're talking about the Artistic License 1.0
http://www.perlfoundation.org/artistic_license_1_0 . That license isn't
considered as a free software license by the FSF
http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/index_html#NonFreeSoftwareLicense,
only the version 2.0 http://www.perlfoundation.org/artistic_license_2_0

Again, thanks for your interest.

PS. I marked the bug as invalid because I thought that Ansgar Burchard
proved my bug invalid, then I found the text of the artistic license
2.0. I apologize for my lack of research.

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.
