Hi guys,
While doing the license tag cleanup, I came across uqm-content, which
was marked "Distributable", but when I dug into it, the actual license
is Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike.

The NonCommercial part is the problem.
Unless someone here has documentation showing that the UQM upstream has
given us permission to distribute these content files under a different
(acceptable to Fedora) license, I'm going to have to block this package
in F10.
I looked around and it seems the original authors don't want the game data used
commercially. I didn't find anything indicating their stance had changed
recently.
Since the game itself is fine, it looks like we'll need to set it
up to
autodownload the content (and quickly).
It should also get pulled from the live games cd as there is little point in
having it there if you need to make a large download to play it.
