Package: openmw
Hi there.
All OpenMW packages are in contrib at the moment:
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=openmw&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all
but they belong to main, cause all code written by that project is free
and none of the packages has dependencies for other packages in contrib
or even non-free.
OpenMW is a FLOSS game engine and people can play "The Elder Scrolls II:
Morrowind" with it and this game is of course not free, but OpenMW
doesn't depend on that game, or any other unfree game data.
With that engine it is possible to run any self created FLOSS game based
on that engine too and there's already an example suite, but even if
there were not:
it is a mistake to "ban" these 100% FLOSS packages to contrib.
It is like Minetest for example, wich is another FLOSS game engine; I
could create a minetest game with non-free content and run this game
with the minetest engine, but that wouldn't make minetest complete or
partially unfree or even depending on that game.
And thats why minetest is in main, what is totally right.
Many people (including me) using the main branch only, so they probably
they will never get aware of this game engine and that is a loss for the
FLOSS community.
Please give the OpenMW project the place in debian that it deserves.

Best regards
