Talk:Red Eclipse

Deletion review
This would seem to contain non-free stuff, see the very first item of https://github.com/red-eclipse/base/blob/master/doc/all-licenses.txt GNUbie (talk) 15:16, 18 March 2016 (CET)
 * They specifically say here http://redeclipse.net/wiki/License that "In the absence of an explicit license, content is considered to be covered by the CC-BY-SA license, either version 3.0 or (at your option) any later version." That looks pretty unambiguous to me. Taknamay (talk) 15:18, 18 March 2016 (CET)
 * Also, even if there were non-free files, surely Debian removed those. That is why it was moved from non-free to main in Debian's repositories. Taknamay (talk) 15:25, 18 March 2016 (CET)
 * All content in Red Eclipse is licensed CC-BY-SA (or better); the General Red Eclipse License states that if no license is supplied by a contributing author (they can opt to select their own libre license), the content ownership is assigned to the project, at which point we license it CC-BY-SA 3.0+. The code and script files are ZLIB. Debian removed us from non-free some time ago when we got our licensing sorted out properly. --Quinton Reeves, Lead Developer for Red Eclipse 59.101.117.9 04:42, 19 March 2016 (CET)
 * I'm glad to learn Debian offers a free version. Are you saying that the things mentioned in all-licenses.txt as "license:omitted" (bin/* src/include/* src/lib/* src/enet/* src/xcode/*) are not in the upstream tarball? Or that they are there but are under a free license? GNUbie (talk) 00:04, 25 March 2016 (CET)

Non-free dependencies
Version 2.0.0 ships with a non-free Steam library. See. There is no fully free version to be found anywhere. Mario Castelán Castro (talk) 21:05, 27 February 2020 (CET)
 * Shipping with non-free code doesn't necessarily imply that the non-free code is a required dependency. Have you determined whether the non-free parts are required to build the game?  --Rah (talk) 11:00, 29 February 2020 (CET)


 * Steam is not required, and by default the Makefile does not build a Steam version. I'm not particularly interested in having arguments with people who haven't properly checked their false accusations, so this is all I will say. --Quinton Reeves, Lead Developer for Red Eclipse 58.96.14.151 13:11, 3 March 2020 (CET)


 * From the #redeclipse channel on freenode:
 * 11:21  actually thats not true
 * 11:21  you can turn off the non free parts
 * 11:21  like Steam and Discord
 * 11:28  rah, `WANT_DISCORD=0 WANT_STEAM=0` will turn the dependencies off, maybe you can note that there
