I don't think there's anything else we expect from upstream to resolve
this bug. I was hoping for the author (vimster) to release some sort
of public, verifiable statement that they would like to license their
works under CC-BY-SA, in order to refute their earlier statement in
that same forum thread that they want their work to be licensed with a
not-for-profit clause (I'm assuming that would be something akin to
CC-BY-SA-NC, which would not be considered DFSG-free by Debian). But
I'm fine with taking deve's word that the author accepted CC-BY-SA
licensing in a private email. Thanks for getting in touch with the
author and clarifying the license!

My hesitation with this bug was mostly due to uncertainty whether
Debian's ftpmasters and/or other maintainers within the Debian Games
team would require more proof regarding the author's intentions, but
that does not seem to be the case. Assuming no objections from the
team, I'll prepare a STK upload over the weekend.

Unfortunately not, but if you contact me directly off-list, I'll still
do my best to reply ASAP. :)
