That's great news. Then i'll simply wait until the new license is included in the packages. Thank you for contacting the copyright holders and all the hard work for ScummVM.

Hi Eugene,

did Neil respond to your e-mail and what was the outcome?

Hello Eugene,

i haven't heard back from you since last week. Just for the record, would it be possible to change the license?

Thanks

Markus

Hello, Could you please explain, why Debian needs to modify the game data? The license of Dreamweb does not permit modifications and fails point 3 of Debian's Free Software Guidelines. http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines This means the game cannot be included in the main section, which ...

Hi all, i have recently started to package Lure and Drascula for Debian GNU/Linux and i also saw that Dreamweb is offered for "free" at scummvm.org. I can't find another thread about this but i wondered why an important paragraph is missing in Dreamweb's license. All other games namely Ben...

Thanks dreammaster. That gives me an idea how much effort it would be to change something. The good news is, i have talked to the ScummVM maintainer and he saw no problem with Lure.

I'll contact both ScummVM maintainers for Debian who are also maintaining BASS and FOTAQ and ask them for their opinion. @criezy Sounds strange but this could also be a solution, yes, but i don't want to speculate here before i...

Non-technical/ethical bit: Again, i agree with you. The original concern was that the Virgin Logo is non-free because it is a trademark of a different company than Revolution Software Ltd. who issued this license and made their game freely available. Here is an interesting comment from James "...

Hi, i'm feeling the same way as you about this issue which should be no issue at all. If i make another attempt to bring Lure into Debian, i will argue like you that the logos are part of the game's copyright notice and that they must not be removed. But my opinion isn't relevant in the end. What co...

Hello folks, sorry for necromancing this old thread but i think it is the best place to raise my questions. I'm a linux enthusiast and i maintain packages for Debian GNU/Linux. One of my priorities within Debian is to help to improve the games section. Unfortunately after so many years "Lure of...
