Re: Bug#653813: ITP: edgar -- The Legend of Edgar platform game
Hi, I'm currently replacing the music and sound effects in The Legend of Edgar with media from opengameart.org. Currently, the media I'm using have the following licences CC-BY 3.0 CC-BY-SA 3.0 GPL 3.0 Are these licences OK for Debian, or will the GPL 3.0 be an issue? I couldn't really find a clear answer on this one. Thanks Richard

RE: Bug#653813: ITP: edgar -- The Legend of Edgar platform game
I have removed all the non-free sounds and music from the game now. The media I'm using, along with their licences and download origin, are in the file below (I won't paste the contents here, it's pretty long). http://sourceforge.net/p/legendofedgar/code/1110/tree/branches/dfsg/doc/music_and_sound_licences If someone could let me know if these look OK, I'd appreciate it. Thanks Richard

Removing the sound should be quite straightforward. If you do want to add this game to Debian, let me know and I can supply a patch for the latest release (0.97) to allow the game to run without sound. Richard

I've updated the readme in the doc directory to reflect that, so it'll be present in the source. Can I just include the same file in the binary release?

RE: Bug#653813: ITP: edgar -- The Legend of Edgar platform game
(Apologies if this top posts, sending from my phone) The reason for choosing NC is because I don't want someone selling something I'm giving away for nothing. I take it there's no Debian compatible license that allows me to do this? > Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 17:28:38 +0800 > Subject: Re: Bug#653813: ITP: edgar -- The Legend of Edgar platform game > From: p...@debian.org > To: rikswee...@hotmail.com > CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org; 653...@bugs.debian.org > > On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 3:57 PM, Richard Sweeney wrote: > > > OK, what's the best approach for that?

RE: Bug#653813: ITP: edgar -- The Legend of Edgar platform game
(Last top post) After some reading, I can probably just leave the assets under the current license. I can simply just change it back since it's currently not released? > Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:22:01 +0800 > Subject: Re: Bug#653813: ITP: edgar -- The Legend of Edgar platform game > From: p...@debian.org > To: rikswee...@hotmail.com > CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org; 653...@bugs.debian.org > > On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 3:57 PM, Richard Sweeney wrote: > > > OK, what's the best approach for that?

OK, I've left it as GPL. I've also added an archive with the sound and music removed. It's called edgar-0.96-nosound.tar.gz and is at https://sourceforge.net/projects/legendofedgar/files/0.96 Richard
