Bug#461659: warsow: New version of warsow possibly non-distributable.

[Ivan Vucica]

Sure, they don't have to give reason to anyone, but that will reduce the 
number of their players. Which is something they probably care about. I 
think, after reading your other posts, that with current license they 
might not only lose Debian as their distributor, but also other 
distributions.

Bringing the issue to them presented like that will probably shake some 
souls on their team. Everyone, both "commercial" and "for-free" 
developers, want more users.

On the other hand, they look like a pretty rude bunch, so perhaps they 
deserve removal from Debian. But not contacting them due to one guy's post 
(who is only a team member and not a team leader) and silently removing 
them should probably not be done.

(n.b. I haven't tried the game.)
