Hi,

I love the idea, we must however note that, if the game engines are free
software, free games can be made from then. See Freedoom for example, if
the PrBoom game engine wasn't free software
(http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/PrBoom), Freedoom wouldn't be considered
a free software Doom IWAD (IWADs are what Doom players call "games")
(http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Freedoom).

As such, I would suggest you to emphasize that free games can be made
from these engines.

As for Alien Arena... I'm speechless, as I recall seeing Alien Arena
being approved as free software
(http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Alien_Arena). Perhaps we'll have to
subdue Alien Arena to some scrutiny once again, either in the Free
Software Directory, or in this list.

Arx Libertatis: Another game engine, that shouldn't be missed. Not yet
approved at the Free Software Directory, but this is still a highlight.

If we take on the same premisse, OpenMW
(http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/OpenMW) would have to be removed from the
Free Software Directory, as it's just a game engine for games like The
Elder Scrolls: Morrowind.

Really Rather Good Battles in Space: Needs scrutiny once more, either
here or at the Free Software Directory
(http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Really_Rather_Good_Battles_In_Space).

Red Eclipse: Needs scrutiny once more, either here or at the Free
Software Directory (http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Red_Eclipse).

Stunt Rally: Needs scrutiny once more, either here or at the Free
Software Directory (http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Stunt_Rally).

Trigguer Rally: Needs scrutiny once more, either here or at Trisquel's
repositories (http://packages.trisquel.info/belenos/trigger-rally).

VDrift: Needs scrutiny once more, either here or at the Free Software
Directory (http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/VDrift).

Besides, one must take note of what Richard Stallman discussed at the
engineering tech at Google
(https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/google-engineering-talk.html), mainly
about freedom 2, and copyright art vs. software. As a follower of the
free software philosophy, I also agree that non-software data should at
least give to the user the freedom to share such data, even if
restricting to non-commercial purposes and even if restricting
derivative works, and for the followers of the philosophy, going beyond
that is just an extra since we assume that artistic works which other
than software aren't an issue because the user doesn't do functional
things with it.


Respectfully, Adonay.
Have a nice day.
