Description Miroslav Suchý 2026-03-02 07:52:07 UTC
The game "rogue" has a license that is not allowed in Fedora and has to be removed.

For more information see https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/722

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Miroslav Suchý 2026-03-02 08:04:48 UTC
Hmm, this seems to be invalid because the "rogue" is not actually included in the package.

The README states

Rogue has a standard BSD licence, but with an
additional contradictory licence that does not allow for-profit
distribution; larn has no licence at all, only a notice that "Copying
for Profit is Prohibited".  If you want rogue, get the
bsd-games-non-free package (which should be on sunsite, but not
tsx-11), and read the README.non-free that it contains: rogue is being
distributed separately, and larn not distributed at all in this Linux
port, in the absence of definite confirmation of what licences really
apply to rogue and larn.

and the game is really not there. So closing.
