Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2019-12-21 17:20:48 UTC
The ebuild says "freedist" which isn't accurate.

Readme.txt in the cs2d_1002_win.zip zipball says:

-----
- Using Sounds/Textures from the original Counter-Strike Copyright © Valve Corporation
- Using BNetEx Copyright © Oliver Skawronek & Inkubus
- Using [... several Lua components, which are all licensed "MIT" ...]
- Using Arial font © Microsoft

[...]

YOU ARE ALLOWED TO COPY AND SHARE THIS GAME FOR FREE.
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SELL THIS GAME.
[... Heavy restrictions on usage omitted ...]
-----

So, there is at least a non-commercial restriction, and "MIT" is needed for Lua. However, there are also components that are Copyright © Valve Corporation, plus the Arial font from Microsoft. Even after reading upstream's disclaimer at http://www.unrealsoftware.de/disclaimer.php, it isn't entirely clear to me if we can redistribute this.

@Licenses team: The cheap solution would be to update LICENSE to "free-noncomm MIT". Alternatively, we could copy the relevant parts from Readme.txt to a license file.

Maxim, please remove this ebuild from portage tree.
This game already available in Valve Steam.

No reply from proxy maintainers since one month, calling maintainer timeout.
