wolf4sdl

[Fabian Greffrath]

Hi Jon et al.,

I have good news regarding wolf4sdl and I now expect it to get 
accepted into Debian (section non-free for the time being, but IIRC 
upstream is working on a replacement for the one and only non-free 
file in the source).

I have contacted John Carmack of iD Doftware and he confirmed to me 
that the original wolf3d source code has been relicensed under the GPL 
in the past; it is just that noone took notice [1]. Thus, the license 
also applies to wolf4sdl as a derived work. Upstream has already taken 
care of this as per SVN revision 261.

Would you please try again and sponsor an upload of the recent git 
snapshot?

Best Regards,
Fabian
