README for bsd-games
====================
This is the bsd-games package for Linux, containing ports of all the
games from NetBSD-current that are free in the usual (DFSG/OSD) sense

including for profit). NetBSD-current contains three other games,
rogue, hack and larn. Rogue has a standard BSD licence, but with an
This is the bsd-games package for Linux (and GNU Hurd), containing
ports of all the games from NetBSD-current that are free in the usual
(DFSG/OSD) sense (i.e. modified and unmodified versions can be freely
distributed, including for profit). NetBSD-current contains two other
games, rogue and larn. Rogue has a standard BSD licence, but with an
additional contradictory licence that does not allow for-profit
distribution; hack and larn have no licence at all. 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 hack and larn not distributed at
all in this Linux port, in the absence of definite confirmation of
what licences really apply. A game not from NetBSD, paranoia, was in
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. A game not from NetBSD, paranoia, was in
earlier versions of bsd-games-non-free (and bsd-games 1.2 and 1.3) but
has been removed because of the lack of a clear licence.
