Yup, requiring that the program *cannot* be sold (non-commercial only) is a no-go. But for games, I think it's easy to swap out whatever we want, these programs are not "core" in the same way that other programs are. So I don't plan to spend too much time trying to bend my mind to accommodate a game's license if it's not great. Let's just replace it. It's a game, we'll find another game. Games don't add to the core experience of an operating system like DOS. And anyway, people who want to run non-free games can download those games and run them.
