Re: [Trisquel-users] "Red Eclipse" free as in freedom?
Thank you. I was really confused because a bunch of people were telling me contradicting things. I added a small article to LibreGameWiki now. https://libregamewiki.org/Red_Eclipse

http://redeclipse.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/redeclipse/doc/all-licenses.txt Files: bin/* src/include/* src/lib/* src/enet/* src/site/* src/xcode/* game/mek/* Copyright: Omitted License: Omitted src/enet/* is MIT licensed. The rest do not carry a license, afaik. Like I said, all of those can be removed with no issues and this is likely what Debian does.
Re: [Trisquel-users] "Red Eclipse" free as in freedom?
Red Eclipse was in Debian non-free because the Debian people thought that not having the source files of some 3D models made some art non-free (the most important models do have .blend files available, like the player model and some weapon models). They ultimately stepped back and considered Red Eclipse 100% libre.
Re: [Trisquel-users] "Red Eclipse" free as in freedom?
As I understood, Red Eclipse is fully free.
Re: [Trisquel-users] "Red Eclipse" free as in freedom?
Please, I want to know, what content is not free.
Re: [Trisquel-users] "Red Eclipse" free as in freedom?
I don't know too. All inside licences I found, free software and free media/art. (Don't know if I wrong)
Re: [Trisquel-users] "Red Eclipse" free as in freedom?
Anything in Red Eclipse that doesn't carry a license is CC BY-SA.
Re: [Trisquel-users] "Red Eclipse" free as in freedom?
This reasoning is not perfect. It is possible that it is non-free and needs to be removed from Trisquel. Of course, in this case it really is free :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] "Red Eclipse" free as in freedom?
Same for ckermit, which is now under a free license but still in multiverse.
Re: [Trisquel-users] "Red Eclipse" free as in freedom?
Are you sure? Someone on IRC told me recently there is a directory that has an unfinished project by the developer that is not licensed.
Re: [Trisquel-users] "Red Eclipse" free as in freedom?
I compiled it. And alredy tested on a machine with gtx770 4gb (not reclocked). Game runs flawlessly with the highest settings at 1080p.
Re: [Trisquel-users] "Red Eclipse" free as in freedom?
Yes. And it's in Debian, so it will flow downstream in a later release. But with Red Eclipse, it's probably better to get it from the developers' website, anyway. I use Debian, and the Red Eclipse here is out of date and can't connect with current servers (meaning I can only play single-player). I would imagine the same to be true of whatever version of it Trisquel gets.
Re: [Trisquel-users] "Red Eclipse" free as in freedom?
Same thing for MegaGlest, outdated versions in repositories, unable to connect to servers. Must to install the latest one.
Re: [Trisquel-users] "Red Eclipse" free as in freedom?
Debian used to put redeclipse-data into non-free as well, but it was moved to main in Jessie. The license concerns with Red Eclipse are outdated. This is the copyright file for redeclipse-data in Debian Jessie: http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/r/redeclipse-data/redeclipse-data_1.4-3_copyright

Thanks you Turtleman and Magic Banana!
Re: [Trisquel-users] "Red Eclipse" free as in freedom?
> Warzone 2100 it is libre? Of course. It's in Trisquel's repositories.
Re: [Trisquel-users] "Red Eclipse" free as in freedom?
Red Eclipse is fully free, but some of the data included with the distribution is non-free. I safely removed these directories and it compiled and ran fine.

Hi, it is "Red Eclipse" game fully Free(as in freedom" Libre software? as I can see, it uses a zlib licence, which is compatible with GPL. If it is libre, why not to add this wonderful game to Trisquel's repositories, this game look nice, very customizable and doesn't need a powerful computer and powerful GPU. http://redeclipse.net/wiki/License
