+Oops, I missed this thread from the beginning :S
+
+I imported the package because looking at
+http://pkgs.org/search/?keyword=sauerbraten, I saw the game is in
+Arch, Debian, Fedora, SuSE and Ubuntu repositories, but I didn't
+notice that in the case of Fedora is in a third-party repo called
+"Russian Fedora Nonfree", but in the case of Debian is in their
+contrib repo, so I thought that if it made it into Debian then there's
+no problem having it here too. But now looking more closely, in
+contrib is the engine and in non-free is the data :(
+
+Please remove it or move it to non-free, I'm sorry I didn't check this deeper :(
+
+Also we could install it in the same way I'm preparing other games
+based on ioquake3 engine that have non-free data, by including
+ioquake3 engine in core/release and autodownloading game data at first
