Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2014-04-05 19:53:35 UTC
Currently labelled "as-is" which is not correct.

qrdocs.txt (in both zipballs) says:

    -=> DISCLAIMER/COPYRIGHT/RULES OF USE <=-

        Quake Rally is provided as-is with no implied guarantee of
        anything apart from being an addon for Quake. Every effort has
        been made to make QR as enjoyable and bug-free as possible.
        Honest.

      ****IMPORTANT****
        Quake Rally may NOT be sold. Quake Rally may NOT be included on any
        CD-ROMs (magazines, compilations or other), unless express permittion
        is granted by us, the Impact Team.

      ****IMPORTANT****
        All work present in Quake Rally which wasn't part of the original
        Quake package is copyright of the respective authors. No elements
        may be used in any other products (free or otherwise) without
        consent from the author. All textures, models and other graphical
        elements may only be used in Quake Rally products - ie. you
        cannot use the textures in non-Quake Rally maps or sprites/mdls
        in other projects.

        Breaking of any of these rules will be taken very seriously.

        Enjoyment MUST be obtained when playing Quake Rally. See your
        doctor if enjoyment resists.

        Quake and a good chunk of stuff present in Quake Rally is
        copyright Id Software.

        Duke Nukem is copyright of 3DRealms.


I don't see anything there that would grant the right for redistribution, so looks like mirror restriction will be needed.
Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2014-05-10 19:55:48 UTC
Fixed, LICENSE="all-rights-reserved".
(qrdocs.txt is not a license because it doesn't grant any rights.)
Comment 2 Julian Ospald 2014-05-10 21:44:52 UTC
sed -i -e '/LICENSE/s#as-is#all-rights-reserved#' */*/*.ebuild

Not at all. For the games-* categories it was close to that, but still not 100%. And I try to avoid all-rights-reserved whereever possible.

Anyway, only 6 packages with "as-is" left, 4 of them in games-*.

Actually, I can answer this exactly. For the 99 packages in games-* that had "as-is", LICENSE is now:

    9 free software licenses
   44 all-rights-reserved
   40 other non-free licenses
    2 removed (for independent reasons)
    4 still to be done

So even for games it isn't close to 100%.
