I'm not aware of crossfire's licence policy, but at least Debian
requires that all parts of the programs are usable, copiable and
modifiable for commercial use too.

I noticed this so close to the sarge's release that the release
manager told me to either get this fixed in a few hours or have
crossfire-server dropped from it.

Crossfire tarballs are now repackaged in Debian to exclude this file.
Apparently nothing else used this script, it was just there available
in case the user wanted to use it directly.

I'll update the makefiles so as not to include this script by default. I'll keep it in CVS, as that shouldn't violate any licenses, and it might still prove useful to mapmakers.
