The software is licensed to you, the end user, on the basis that you can obtain and redistribute it freely at any price under the same terms that you recieved it. This is the legal way of getting around the shortcomings of public domain, namely, someone can modify it and make a proprietary work from it. It's not entirely clear whether or not the copyright holders may release new versions of the software under a more restrictive license, making the non-free fork of tuxracer legally questionable as far as I can tell. For those who don't know, about a year ago the copyright holders of tuxracer decided they were going to license new versions proprietarily and release binary-only on Windows only. Notice that tuxracer remains in main, however, since that software is based off the prior GPL versions. - -- .''`.
