Tuduri, has freesynd become more usable? Last time I checked (I filed the initial
ITP, which has been closed in the mean time), it was a tech demo with
the fist level being somewhat walkable, but not actually playable. And
I'm not seeing major commits since the last eight months in WebSVN, has
development stopped?

The license of the re-engineered engine is GPL, the game data is the 
game data from the _original_ game, so definitely not distributable in
any way whatsoever.
