The use of the name 'tetris' is an oversight and will be corrected shortly. As for including the game itself, I've asked for some advice/clarification from the Fedora community on whether this is allowed or not. Well, I don't really know whether it's allowed or is illegal personally, I just noticed that "All Tetris clones are illegal" was a quote a Red Hate developer made in the other bug report. Based on the discussion on fedora-devel-list and bug #224627, it seems that it's enough to remove all user-visible references to tetris in the game, while the game itself can remain. This has been done in the latest bsd-games-2.17-20 release. |
Gnometris apparently isn't included because there are legal issues ("All Tetris clones are illegal", see bug 84407 and bug 148883) so doesn't this mean that tetris-bsd shouldn't be included either? Tetris-bsd even uses the name 'tetris' unlike gnometris.
