i do agree with that statement; however, the thing is, distros are distributing scummvm now, because there are free games for it - that is the only reason why any distro is distributing scummvm today if there were no free games for scummvm, no one would need to recommend excluding it - distros would most likely remove it anyways; because the package has no dependents remaining in the system so more to the point, the only reason why we are discussing scummvm is because we have yet to determine if those scummvm games are or are not libre - if they are libre, then there is nothing remaining of importance to discuss - this is "putting the cart before the horse"
