This looks like it was written a while ago...is the situation still
unclear? Could this be moved to contrib?

You should be the one who knows this :-) I don't think Mandriva wants

What? Who? Are you referring to the Mandriva employee who happens to
have the same name as me but is of course an entirely different
person? :P

a program like this in the distribution. It is basically an emulator.

Meh, I'm not so sure. I'd say it's more like prboom, which is in the
distro already, with the difference that it's a reimplementation not a
modification of GPL'ed code. But the effect is the same. I guess I'll
ask the scummvm guys what LucasArts thinks of them now...

Not like it competes with Lucas Arts at this point. Was there ever a Star Wars game that runs on ScummVM?

Lucas Arts seems unwilling to sell anything that does not have a Star Wars tie-in, no matter how successful. (Insert nasty Sam and Max cancelation remark here.)
