Hi,
My name is Charles Goodwin and I'm the author of Free Gamer (see sig for URL) which is a blog / list on Free Software games. It means I have a ridiculous amount of open sources games to be found in the depths of my grey cells so hopefully I have some good suggestions for you.
Here's a few to start:
Lost Labyrinth: http://www.lostlabyrinth.com/ (An awesome little GPL game)
Hex-a-hop: http://libregamewiki.org/Hex-a-hop (Fun arcade game although homepage is offline)
Simutrans: http://www.simutrans.com (Simutrans eventually became GPL licensed last year)
Many more suggestions to come!

This one needs a proprietary compiler, so it can't be integrated in the Fedora build system (but indeed, the game is nice).

It says on the webpage that: - there is an allegedly "Open Source" version 4.0 - it can compile the code to assembler, which can be tweaked and assembled with nasm (we can distribute that, right? :))

Only a partial "opensource" release for amiga, in other words useless.

This game is really cool and addictive, and I really recommend it, I don't know if you already have it in Fedora. If you have interest in having it internationalized, have a look at the patches [2] we've developed for it, as we're supporting gettext and utf8 (via SDL-pango).
Greetings, Miry

Hi,
Nice to meet you.

Lost Labyrinth: http://www.lostlabyrinth.com/ (An awesome little GPL game)
As already said (and wrongly disputed) this one needs a proprietary compiler and thus is a no no.
Hex-a-hop: http://libregamewiki.org/Hex-a-hop (Fun arcade game although homepage is offline)
Might be a good candidate.
Simutrans: http://www.simutrans.com (Simutrans eventually became GPL licensed last year)
Currently does not have any clearly licensed datafiles.
Regards,
Hans
