I was thinking of trying to package Angband. I grabbed the source and

licensing.
Angband is GPL (or the angband license if you prefer). Some items in
the angband tar.gz are not. It explains which ones aren't. Mageia's
patch disables them so they are not installed (at least in theory I
haven't actually confirmed it). Mageia uses a source package of
%{name}-%{version}-libre.tar.xz. I'm guess they may have taken the
angband tar.gz and removed items to create it. Would Fedora require the
same? Can we ship a srpm with non-commercial content like the sounds in
angband?
Hi Dennis! These are good questions, but Fedora Legal is probably the
best to answer this. I CC'd Tom Callaway to this reply, as he's probably
one of the people who can answer this officially.
It may be helpful if you link to the license file or the Mageia patches
as well.
