i think we wat to add them - that list should be resource for any software
which has been audited by the work-group and found to be flawed - we should
really consider integrating the FSD audits as well

the rationale is not merely to be pedantic - it is a matter of efficiency,
(to reduce duplicated efforts), the same reason your previous message
suggested being more precise; so distro have a clear central resource where to
find past knowledge, rather than repeating the same audits

there are only four scummvm games to deal with immediately - very likely, no
others will ever be added to any distro - all four are in guix, trisquel, and
pureos (and probably ututo) - parabola had only 'bass' and still has scummvm
(with no dependents) - probably no other FSDG distros have any of these things

we have a good handle on the entire situation - we only need to decide if the
licenses are acceptable
