Hi,

1. PrismLauncher[0]: The software itself is licensed as GPL3 but it is
used to download and launch a proprietary videogame called
"Minecraft".  Since it is itself GPL3 licensed but used for a
proprietary videogame, would it be allowed for upstream or not?

2: PCSX2[1]: Software itself is licensed as GPL3 but is used to
emulate a PlayStation 2 (game console), which is highly proprietary
hardware.  It is also wishlisted on libreplanet[2].  It requires the
original proprietary BIOS (not distributed by the software) to run.
Since it is a game console, it also requires proprietary video games
(not distributed by the software).

3. impatient-mode[3]: This is an Emacs mode to write HTML and see it
in realtime rendered in the web browser.  It has no license file.  In
the file "impatient-mode.el" it says "This is free and unencumbered
software released into the public domain.".  Is this suitable for an
upstream package?  It looks to me not correctly licensed but I am also
not an expert in this and therefore unsure.

PrismLauncher works but does not show images from the instance.

PCSX2 works but does not show icons.

Imaptient-mode is done.

Since it is better to push as much as possible upstream, would they
met the requirements or not?
