Hi,
About the license it's still unclear if it's free or not as some people
pointed on the gnu-linux-libre mailing[1] list that it's a bit similar
to the open font license, but that is a license for fonts not code
though. So I've looked at the other aspects (missing source code, etc).

I got an auto-reply with a ticket number from the FSF, but no answer yet.
I was aware of and unimpressed by Debian's rationalisations on the matter.
Still, this isn't as clear-cut as (say) the Realtek drivers, so IMO we can
afford to wait as long as is needed.

I thought I remembered that "Beneath a Steel Sky" was released by its
authors under GPLv2 to some applause back in the day. I remember that's
why I installed and played it...
It's mentioned here at least:

I've sent an e-mail to the FSF licencing department asking for
their guidance on the matter. I erred on the side of netiquette
caution and didn't CC this list.
Either the inclusion of [a subset of] Drascula in Trisquel[0] is a
similar oversight, or we're missing some legal subtlety.

Yep, it's pretty explicit, and I agree that it's an unreasonable
restriction that makes the software non-free.
