Well, here's the maintainer's view on this: > The game should be able to run with free content as well, so I disagree > on that. Shall I just remove te requirement? I happen to agree with him, also because there's at least one GPL editor for doom, like doom builder: http://www.doombuilder.com/index.php?p=development "Doom Builder is an open source development released under GNU GPL. Everyone can learn from the source code and use it in a GPL compatible project." Yes, doom builder is a windows app, but there are many ways to run a windows APP (wine, ReactOS, etc.). [Before you ask: no, I didn't try to actually run doombuilder myself.] Or is it that doomsday still needs iwad files on top of the wad files for levels, sprites, and characters? In any case, if you still think that this was a mistake that I did, I am sorry for it, but if that's the case, it's easy to fix: - reopen #661329 - retitle it "doomsday should be in contrib, not in main" so that it's not miss-leading anymore.
