It looks like there are some freedom issues with Blender (logo), SuperTuxKart (mascots) and The Battle for Wesnoth (add-ons). First issue is Blender logo in blender package. The logo is non-free: https://www.blender.org/about/logo/ They don't want this logo to be removed: https://developer.blender.org/T52380 Second issue is SuperTuxKart. Beastie and Suzanne mascots cannot be free because Beastie is non-free (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_Daemon#Copyright) and Blender logo (included with kart "Suzanne") is non-free. GitHub issue is here: https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/issues/2899 Also, they want to include Steam support which will destroy the freedom. They're rejected to cancel this project: https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/issues/2900 Third issue is The Battle for Wesnoth. They're changed licensing for addons, allowing any CC license: https://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=46093 Add-ons can be downloaded using a downloader inside game. I think, there are two ways to download add-on. First is using add-on downloader and second is trying to join a game room (online play) with add-on. They're rejected to remove the downloader: https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/1897 ---- Sent using Guerrillamail.com Block or report abuse: https://www.guerrillamail.com//abuse/?a=Rk9hSAEJTaENxQK98mwaUhrIQ82ex5lf1aM%3D
