Only if maintainer make necessary patches in the package. I asked main developer about fonts. He replied that upstream won't support other fonts in game. >>> * Another part of 3D models was licensed from third-party design studio. >>> And these files come under proprietary license. >>> Now main developer is going to re-licence these proprietary files under >>> CC BY-SA and to update main file with description of all copyrights and >>> licenses used in program. >> The problem is that some files are sourceless, right? Game developers have these source files but they cannot distribute them. But they can distribute generated 3D models. And CC BY-SA is the best choice in this case I think. Users will be able even to modify these files and to distribute the result. > This seems to be the difficult part here. I don't see any problems here. Program with the most part of content is suitable for contrib. And some data files will come into non-free.
