[gentoo-dev] license issue with fretsonfire

[Mounir Lamouri]

Hi,

I was going to put frets on fire into the tree when I realized the
license of this game [1] is not very easy to get. The source code is
GPL-2 (with this note "some source files derived from other sources might
have differing licenses."), 3 fonts files have specific licenses and the
songs follow this rule "Distribution, modification or commercial usage
of the songs is not allowed.".

I think the code can be considered GPL-2 (i will check if there is no
header specifying something else) and for the fonts, I will have to add
2 licenses not in the tree at the moment.
But what to do with the songs ? I suppose it's not the first GPL game
having "non very clear" license about data. How games team is managing
that ?
