What does 'WP' mean?

I played Tetrinet with someone over a server, but I can't remember what the
address was.
You can't access the homepage of the project? I can access
http://tetrinet.or.cz fine. Or do you mean it hasn't been updated in ages?

Regarding the potential trademark issues, both FSF-approved distros Parabola
and PureOS have Tetrinet in their repositories[1][2], so I think it would be
acceptable to add it to Guix. And if a copyright claim is made in the future it
can always be removed.

Thanks
