I don't think I care to add the "DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO PUBLIC LICENSE" to portage so I'm going to pass on this game.  Thanks for the bug report though.
Comment 6 Sam Hocevar 2005-03-18 00:26:14 UTC
What kind of fake, intolerant, biased and uninformed explanation
is that? I haven't seen anyone complain about WindowMaker being
in Gentoo. Fuck double standards bigots.
Comment 7 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-18 05:36:10 UTC
Thanks for proving the point... *grin*
Comment 8 Sam Hocevar 2005-03-18 09:23:54 UTC
For proving which point exactly? Wouldn't anyone be pretty annoyed
if a single individual decided that Gentoo users would not enjoy a
particular piece of software just because he does not like its license,
while at the same time Gentoo already provides software under this very
license? I could not care less about what Gentoo provides, but if I was
the bug submitter, having spent time writing the ebuild and everything,
I'd be quite pissed off to be treated like that.
Comment 9 Julien Cayzac 2005-03-18 09:24:16 UTC
As previously noted, WindowMaker, which is part of portage, is also partly distributed under the so-called "Do what the fuck you want public licence"
(look at the COPYING.WTFPL tarball in its tarball).

I suggest you remove WindowMaker from portage if you want to stay coherent.

I've been using Gentoo for the past two years. I've always been thinking it was an open system and I'm not going to change that because some morron doesn't like a certain opensource licence. Linux has few good games, and monsterz definitively is one of them. Why should Gentoo developers should forbid users to play it while it's available on Debian and other distributions?

I won't give it up on this. I've raised some helpful bugs here in the past, so you can try to blacklist my ip if you don't want any more bug reports but I've access to other hosts as well and I intend to continue to contribute to Gentoo as I love this distribution and I won't let anyone turn it into a fascist system.

Regards,
Julien Cayzac.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but according to http://www.windowmaker.org/disclaimer.html - "Window Maker is © [1997 - 2004] Alfredo Kojima and is distributed under the GNU GPL software license. All rights are reserved."

I still think that this game should be in portage, there's no real reason that the license would be an issue.
Comment 12 Julien Cayzac 2005-03-18 10:14:00 UTC
In fact, WindowMaker *is* covered by the GPL-2 licence.
But it's distributed with some artwork covered by the WTFPL licence.
Hence the presence of the COPYING.WTFPL file in the tarball.
Comment 13 Julien Cayzac 2005-03-18 10:16:44 UTC
If you don't want to download the tarball, it's there:

Comment 14 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-03-18 16:08:28 UTC
well i hate to break up the lovely like fest here, but i cleaned up the ebuild (path handling in previous ebuild was braindead / broken) and added to portage
Comment 15 Sam Hocevar 2005-03-19 01:08:21 UTC
Thanks a lot. Just a note about the license: it is not public domain,
all authors retain their copyright on the work (except the music tune
which was explicitely put in the public domain). If you need to put
the WTFPL in a category, the most accurate would be BSD-like.
