Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2014-04-05 20:09:16 UTC
Currently labelled "as-is" which is not correct.

I find two files with distribution terms in the various zipballs:

rgb3/rgb3.txt in rgb3_preview.zip:

    This archive may be distributed freely provided it is not
    modified in any way, and it contains the following files:

	 pak0.pak - 13,874,965 bytes
     rgbtruth.wri -     13,560 bytes
     rgbtruth.txt -     13,205 bytes
	 rgb3.txt -      4,718 bytes
       glrgb3.bat -         86 bytes
      winrgb3.bat -         82 bytes
     autoexec.cfg -         53 bytes
       config.cfg -         16 bytes

    You may not put any files from RGB3 on a compilation CD 
    without the express permission of United Ranger Films.

    Please get permission from United Ranger Films before using
    any part of the production (skins, wavs, maps, etc) in other
    projects.

blah/readme.txt in blahmov.zip:

    Copyright (C) 1997 Brian Hess and Mackey McCandlish.  All rights reserved.
    This level may be electronically distributed only at no charge to
    the recipient, and may not be modified in any way.  This text file
    must be included with the movie.

    This level may not be distributed on any CD-ROM without the prior,
    explicit WRITTEN consent of Brian Hess or Mackey McCandlish.

There seems to be no license information in any of the other zipballs.
HOMEPAGE is dead; the archived one at archive.org doesn't have any license information either.

I guess LICENSE="all-rights-reserved freedist free-noncomm" would be a good enough approximation, but we would also need mirror restriction (which is problematic because SRC_URI doesn't work any more).

Sounds like discriminatory non-free BS, which means it doesn't go in freedist or free-noncomm.

You're right, so I've changed LICENSE to "all-rights-reserved".
Leaving this bug open for the HOMEPAGE issue.
Comment 3 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2015-12-10 05:16:04 UTC
No visible progress here.

- HOMEPAGE is dead.
- SRC_URI is dead, so distfiles cannot be downloaded.
- Mirror restricted (must be because of the restrictive license).
- No reaction from Gentoo maintainers since 20 months.

I suggest removal of this package. CCing treecleaners.
