Most of the games are traps (contain proprietary software) as explained in the same article I linked (but further up). Going through a few of them that I am already familiar with:

* AssaultCube, Cube, and Cube 2 contain scripts which have no license attached (the ".cfg" files).
* Frogatto contains proprietary scripts.
* Katawa Shoujo is almost entirely made up of proprietary scripts, which are not even in source code form.
* Narcissu is made up almost entirely of proprietary scripts.
* PlaneShift's "content" license places restrictions on what can be done with the software. It forbids connecting to any server with a modified client, and it forbids connecting to any unofficial server.

There are many I can't check, because I don't have access to copies of the games in question. But in most cases I would be quite surprised if they were not traps (scripting is quite common and scripts are usually included as part of a game's "data"), and even if they aren't, they're not redistributable in the first place.
