+In fact I'm even not sure we can distribute it at all, for the same reasons as 
+Fedora's:
+- media have various licenses, depending on the contributor (lots of them)
+- according to the above readme, some media may even have no license at all
+- according to Fedora, some of those licenses restrict commercial use, and our 
+policy does not allow non-free software with redistribution restrictions.
+
+So unless someone digs into the media files, looks at the licences, removes 
+media files with unclear or too restrictive licenses (and that the game still 
+works after that), then we must drop it. Otherwise it must go to non-free.
+
+Best regards
