Libregamewiki:Rejected games list

2026-07-27T07:04:45Z

Wuzzy: /* U */ update rejection notice

'''Rejected games list''' is a list of games which were rejected to have articles in the [[Libregamewiki]] for not complying with the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy|article policy]], but for which it is likely that somebody will try to add them or do time-consuming research about their freeness (or there is a significant hope of liberation, e.g. it is apparently non-free only because it has been derived from a then-non-free work).

Note that the licenses of a game can change, and that a game may be put here erroneously, so being on this list does not mean the game is rejected forever: if you think a listed game actually is free, you can start a discussion on [[Libregamewiki_talk:Rejected games list|the talk page]].

In the meantime if you do find a game to be non-free in your research, be sure also to remove it from [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]] when you add it here. Just in case.

Lists of games rejected by other projects:
* [http://wiki.debian.org/Games/Unsuitable Debian]
* [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games#List_of_games_we_will_NOT_package Fedora]

|name=Inside The Box [https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox]
|reason=This rejection refers to the game from the Luanti community. Specifically, this refers to the source code release at [https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox] (i.e. not the server in Luanti). The license is LGPL-2.1 and CC BY-SA 4.0, so that’s not the problem. But technically, this release is not a ''game'' because it lacks any playable levels or content. Per the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy]], only free ''games'' may be included. According to the repository’s description, this release is meant to be run as a server, where users then go on to build levels which then can be played by players. However, this release does not contain any levels by itself, not even tutorial or example levels. It doesn’t seem adding new levels to this release is planned. This rejection should probably be lifted once it becomes a proper playable game with libre levels.

:That does not make the game non-free. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 17:36, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
:: Section 1 of the Open Source definition says: "The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale." So, assume I bought a copy of the game with the source code. Since I am not allowed to give it to my neighbor, this is not free software.
:::If you're not allowed to give it to your neighbor, it's not free software, sure. But if they only give the source code to paying customers, that's ok. (The customer must be allowed to pass it along.) [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 19:05, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
::::Selling code is okay with free SW, it doesn't violate anything, however '''at the same time the source code has to be available to anyone''' for free in order to respect freedom to study and modify. So the question here is whether the source code is available somewhere else for anyone.

Libregamewiki:Rejected games list

2026-07-27T06:40:32Z

Wuzzy: /* S */ fix typo: Stunt rally → Stunt Rally

'''Rejected games list''' is a list of games which were rejected to have articles in the [[Libregamewiki]] for not complying with the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy|article policy]], but for which it is likely that somebody will try to add them or do time-consuming research about their freeness (or there is a significant hope of liberation, e.g. it is apparently non-free only because it has been derived from a then-non-free work).

Note that the licenses of a game can change, and that a game may be put here erroneously, so being on this list does not mean the game is rejected forever: if you think a listed game actually is free, you can start a discussion on [[Libregamewiki_talk:Rejected games list|the talk page]].

In the meantime if you do find a game to be non-free in your research, be sure also to remove it from [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]] when you add it here. Just in case.

Lists of games rejected by other projects:

|reason=This rejection refers to the game from the Luanti community. Specifically, this refers to the source code release at [https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox] (i.e. not the server in Luanti). The license is LGPL-2.1 and CC BY-SA 4.0, so that’s not the problem. But technically, this release is not a ''game'' because it lacks any playable levels or content. Per the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy]], only free ''games'' may be included. According to the repository’s description, this release is meant to be run as a server, where users then go on to build levels which then can be played by players. However, this release does not contain any levels by itself, not even tutorial or example levels. It doesn’t seem adding new levels to this release is planned. This rejection should probably be lifted once it becomes a proper playable game with libre levels.

|name=My Ex-Boyfriend the Space Tyrant!
|reason=Listed as open source on the Linux Game Database, but SourceCode is available to paying customers only.<ref>http://www.um.com.au/spaceout/</ref>.
:That does not make the game non-free. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 17:36, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
:: Section 1 of the Open Source definition says: "The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale." So, assume I bought a copy of the game with the source code. Since I am not allowed to give it to my neighbor, this is not free software.
:::If you're not allowed to give it to your neighbor, it's not free software, sure. But if they only give the source code to paying customers, that's ok. (The customer must be allowed to pass it along.) [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 19:05, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
::::Selling code is okay with free SW, it doesn't violate anything, however '''at the same time the source code has to be available to anyone''' for free in order to respect freedom to study and modify. So the question here is whether the source code is available somewhere else for anyone. If the source is really freely licensed, anyone would be able to legally host (redistribute) it somewhere for free. If this is not allowed, the license is not free. --[[User:Drummyfish|Drummyfish]] ([[User talk:Drummyfish|talk]]) 08:34, 22 January 2019 (CET)

Libregamewiki talk:Rejected games list

2026-07-27T06:34:50Z

Wuzzy: /* Trigger Rally unrejected */ new section

== [DONE] El ocaso de Sara ==
Regarding El ocaso de Sara:
It seems the reason this game was rejected because of it using the Newton physics engine. I read that Newton has been released under a free license now, so maybe this game doesn't have to be rejected anymore? /Cire
: Moved to [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]]. --[[User:AVRS|AVRS]] 18:46, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

== Rechecking Stunt Rally ==

I suggest to check the status of Stunt Rally again. It may be now the case that this game can be removed from this list.

Stunt Rally was rejected because some of its media were non-free.
Stunt Rally had now an update which replaced a lot of media files. The motivation of this was to have better quality and to get rid of copyrighted content in the process. I do not know if now all the content is under a free license now. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 19:52, 2 September 2014 (CEST)

== [DONE] Poor usage of the term “freeware” ==
I suggest to remove usage of the term “freeware”, because there is no really broad accepted meaning. Some may mean by “freeware” only “software that costs nothing” and don’t imply any legal or other restrictions. Some others also imply restrictions by using the term. This page is even worse, it applies the term “freeware” to data as well. So I suggest to avoid the term “freeware” altogether.

Therefore, “freeware” should not be a reason to reject a game.
Justify it with “proprietary software” or “copyright restrictions” (if this is actually the case), which is clearer than just “freeware”.

List of games which are definitately proprietary, I will rewrite the entries to replace the term “freeware” soon:
* Angband
* C-Dogs SDL
* Knytt
* Knytt Stories
* Nelly's Rooftop Garden
* Planet M.U.L.E.

List of games where it is unclear if the usage of the word “freeware” may just have meant “at no cost” with no other implications:
* OpenRA
* Within a Deep Forest

It needs to be examined wheather there are actually legal restrictions in place or not. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 20:42, 2 September 2014 (CEST)
:This section is pretty much outdated after 12 years, obviously. I've decided to fix bad use of the word "freeware" for the few remaining games myself and gave more explicit rejection reasons, like "missing license" or "no redistribution". Exception: [[C-Dogs SDL]] and [[OpenRA]] became libre in the meantime. I did not eliminate the word "freeware" entirely, but I made sure this word alone was never the actual ''rejection reason''. For the future, I suggest to never use the word "freeware" as the sole rejection reason due to possible misinterpretations. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 19:10, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

== [DONE] Un-reject UFO:AI ==

The UFO:AI folks have made a serious effort to get rid of all non-free or unclear media. With the release of 2.5, this goal has been achieved. UFO:AI should be removed from this list.

Here is the full list of media licenses: http://ufoai.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ufoai/ufoai;a=blob;f=LICENSES

:Hey Wuzzy! Unfortunately looks like there still is something not quite right. This file http://sourceforge.net/p/ufoai/code/ci/master/tree/LICENSES lists 5 items without a license, radiant/bitmaps/texwindow_uniformsize.png, contrib/7th.zip, contrib/scripts/compile_po.bat, contrib/scripts, update_potfiles_in.bat and src/tools/blender/md2tag_test.blend.

::Greetings GNUbie. As far as I can tell, nothing in the contrib/ tree is distributed in the downloadable sourcecode tarballs that users and distributions would download. My understanding is that they are used internally by the developers.

== RedEclipse ==

According to the RedEclipse-FAQ:
Red Eclipse itself and the Cube Engine 2 are under the zlib License.
All content in the game is Free, and no more strict than the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA license.
For more details, see license.txt and trademark.txt.

Akashi-Font is released under OFL (SIL Open Font Licence 1.1), so that shouldn't be a problem either

--[[User:Dr. Azrael Tod|Dr. Azrael Tod]] ([[User talk:Dr. Azrael Tod|talk]]) 11:17, 21 November 2014 (CET)

:The very first entry in this list says "Omitted" for copyright and license fields for several files... http://redeclipse.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/redeclipse/doc/all-licenses.txt?revision=5993

:That means it's not free and thus cannot be included. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 18:41, 23 November 2014 (CET)

:Looks like RedEclipse and its data is now in Debian's main repository in the upcoming Debian version suggesting it's free, should be investigated. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 18:27, 23 January 2015 (CET)

:: these directories (bin/* src/include/* src/lib/* src/enet/* src/site/* src/xcode/* game/mek/*) neither contain code nor content original to redeclipse, and are thus excluded from beeing declared as zlib/CC-BY-SA. That still doesn't mean RE is nonfree. Hell.. it's even called include/site/xcode/whatever. You can see that with one simple look at what you just read. --[[User:Dr. Azrael Tod|Dr. Azrael Tod]] ([[User talk:Dr. Azrael Tod|talk]]) 15:46, 12 February 2015 (CET)

::: Unless there is a distribution without the non free files, RedEclipse does not comply with the requirements of LibreGameWiki. --[[User:Hendrik Brummermann|Hendrik Brummermann]] ([[User talk:Hendrik Brummermann|talk]]) 23:17, 12 February 2015 (CET)

:::: what? did you even read what i wrote? That these files aren't declared that doesn't mean they are closed-source parts. Just look at /src/lib, there you have SDL, enet (network-lib, BSD-Style) freetype and zlib. None of that is unfree. looking at src/xcode doesn't make any sense at all, same for binary-dirs with generated content. Why don't you go and claim what's unfree in your opinion instead of repeating this? --[[User:Dr. Azrael Tod|Dr. Azrael Tod]] ([[User talk:Dr. Azrael Tod|talk]]) 11:04, 18 February 2015 (CET)

::::: I am referring to http://redeclipse.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/redeclipse/doc/all-licenses.txt, which says "Files: bin/* src/include/* src/lib/* src/enet/* src/site/* src/xcode/* game/mek/*, Copyright: Omitted, License: Omitted". Omitting copyright and license information is not acceptable, unless -as I sayed- there is a distribution without those files. --13:42, 18 February 2015 (CET)

:::::: yes, you repeated that now at least thrice. But still: that this file doesn't note that SDL is opensource doesn't make SDL closed-source. And that SVN is outdated since RE switched to a git repo on github. See: https://github.com/red-eclipse/base/blob/master/doc/license.txt

::::::: The correct address of the file in the git repository is https://github.com/red-eclipse/base/blob/master/doc/all-licenses.txt. --[[User:Hendrik Brummermann|Hendrik Brummermann]] ([[User talk:Hendrik Brummermann|talk]]) 22:02, 18 February 2015 (CET)

https://software.opensuse.org/package/redeclipse ships it officially which means it underwent strict commercially grade legal review to pass. I don't understand your concerns. This is about making a wiki entry, not getting sued for redistribution. [[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 02:38, 1 January 2021 (CET)

https://github.com/Unvanquished/Unvanquished/blob/a395fc4f3f9c09024f8503220dbf845f8fe2c531/COPYING.txt

== Simutrans ==

Even [https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=simutrans Debian] ships it. It uses an [https://opensource.org/licenses/Artistic-1.0 Open Source compliant] license. While the Artistic license may not be the best choice, you are clearly overdoing it with your "libre" standards here. [[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 02:35, 1 January 2021 (CET)
:Uhhh … You hit an awkward edge case here. Simutrans is under Artistic License 1.0, which is OSI-approved but not FSF-approved. FSF rejects it for being too vague. FSF accepts Artistic License 2.0 tho. So the real question is whether LGW should allow only FSF-approved licenses, only OSI-approved licenses or both. I think this should be discussed at [[Libregamewiki:Community portal]] first. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 08:48, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

== [DONE] OpenRA ==

Given that [[OpenHV]] is now available using the OpenRA engine, I think it's time to remove OpenRA from the list since completely free games can be played in it. [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 15:32, 4 February 2021 (CET)
:Article [[OpenRA]] was created 2022-06-06 --[[User:Kribbel|Kribbel]] ([[User talk:Kribbel|talk]])

== [DONE] Warsow ==

There is now http://warfork.com/ which aimed at solely distributing via Steam, so they started out freely licensed but then quickly went proprietary again. According to the developers, it should be possible to create a "LibreSow" using https://github.com/TeamForbiddenLLC/warfork-free-soundpacks and https://github.com/TeamForbiddenLLC/warfork-free-textures while the engine was free the whole time.

:Article [[Warfork]] was created 2021-12-27 --[[User:Kribbel|Kribbel]] ([[User talk:Kribbel|talk]])

== Unciv might be libre soon(ish) ==

It is not fully libre yet, so the rejection still has to stand atm. But there are currently efforts in Unciv (pushed by me) to get rid of non-free files and bad licensing. Hexarealm license has been revealed to be CC BY-SA 3.0 ([https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv/pull/15220 PR pending]). All the -NC sounds and other non-free sounds (Pixabay License) have already been [https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv/issues/15174 replaced]. FUN FACT: It turned out that many of the "non-free files" under Pixabay License were actually CC0 originally pulled from Freesound authors, but re-uploaded by Pixabay on their website under their proprietary terms … Capitalism is !!!FUN!!! (pro-tip: If you ever find "non-free" sounds under Pixabay License in a game, there is a chance it was actually just pulled from Freesound as CC0. Search for the same title and author name on Freesound) Anyway, take a close watch on Unciv in the next weeks, it might become libre. Those who are interested might want to re-review the licensing already to search for other issues that the original rejection didn’t find. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 18:45, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

== You're the OS! ==

The rejection of ''You're the OS!'' seems outdated. It claims that several asses are "not libre" but the readme sounds like everything is libre? I request a re-review. Note that not everything from Pixabay is automatically non-free, apparently they have (or had) some CC0 files as well. Did not take a deep look into this tho. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 19:23, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

== Trigger Rally unrejected ==

I’ve removed the rejection for [[Trigger Rally]]. It was rejected because two images were under Pixabay License (non-free license). The official repo has replaced those files, so the reason for rejection no longer applies. Credits: https://sourceforge.net/p/trigger-rally/code/HEAD/tree/doc/DATA_AUTHORS.txt | Resolution discussion in Trigger Rally: https://sourceforge.net/p/trigger-rally/bugs/31/ --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 06:34, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

Libregamewiki:Rejected games list

2026-07-27T06:31:36Z

Wuzzy: /* T */ Remove Trigger Rally rejection, the Pixabay License images have been replaced

'''Rejected games list''' is a list of games which were rejected to have articles in the [[Libregamewiki]] for not complying with the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy|article policy]], but for which it is likely that somebody will try to add them or do time-consuming research about their freeness (or there is a significant hope of liberation, e.g. it is apparently non-free only because it has been derived from a then-non-free work).

Note that the licenses of a game can change, and that a game may be put here erroneously, so being on this list does not mean the game is rejected forever: if you think a listed game actually is free, you can start a discussion on [[Libregamewiki_talk:Rejected games list|the talk page]].

In the meantime if you do find a game to be non-free in your research, be sure also to remove it from [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]] when you add it here. Just in case.

|name=Inside The Box [https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox]
|reason=This rejection refers to the game from the Luanti community. Specifically, this refers to the source code release at [https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox] (i.e. not the server in Luanti). The license is LGPL-2.1 and CC BY-SA 4.0, so that’s not the problem. But technically, this release is not a ''game'' because it lacks any playable levels or content. Per the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy]], only free ''games'' may be included. According to the repository’s description, this release is meant to be run as a server, where users then go on to build levels which then can be played by players. However, this release does not contain any levels by itself, not even tutorial or example levels. It doesn’t seem adding new levels to this release is planned. This rejection should probably be lifted once it becomes a proper playable game with libre levels.

:: Section 1 of the Open Source definition says: "The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale." So, assume I bought a copy of the game with the source code. Since I am not allowed to give it to my neighbor, this is not free software.

Libregamewiki talk:Rejected games list

2026-07-25T19:23:29Z

Wuzzy: /* You're the OS! */ clarify: not a deep look

Libregamewiki talk:Rejected games list

2026-07-25T19:23:06Z

Wuzzy: /* You're the OS! */ new section

== [DONE] El ocaso de Sara ==
Regarding El ocaso de Sara:
It seems the reason this game was rejected because of it using the Newton physics engine. I read that Newton has been released under a free license now, so maybe this game doesn't have to be rejected anymore? /Cire
: Moved to [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]]. --[[User:AVRS|AVRS]] 18:46, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

== Rechecking Stunt Rally ==

I suggest to check the status of Stunt Rally again. It may be now the case that this game can be removed from this list.

Stunt Rally was rejected because some of its media were non-free.
Stunt Rally had now an update which replaced a lot of media files. The motivation of this was to have better quality and to get rid of copyrighted content in the process. I do not know if now all the content is under a free license now. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 19:52, 2 September 2014 (CEST)

== [DONE] Poor usage of the term “freeware” ==
I suggest to remove usage of the term “freeware”, because there is no really broad accepted meaning. Some may mean by “freeware” only “software that costs nothing” and don’t imply any legal or other restrictions. Some others also imply restrictions by using the term. This page is even worse, it applies the term “freeware” to data as well. So I suggest to avoid the term “freeware” altogether.

Therefore, “freeware” should not be a reason to reject a game.
Justify it with “proprietary software” or “copyright restrictions” (if this is actually the case), which is clearer than just “freeware”.

List of games which are definitately proprietary, I will rewrite the entries to replace the term “freeware” soon:
* Angband
* C-Dogs SDL
* Knytt
* Knytt Stories
* Nelly's Rooftop Garden
* Planet M.U.L.E.

List of games where it is unclear if the usage of the word “freeware” may just have meant “at no cost” with no other implications:
* OpenRA
* Within a Deep Forest

It needs to be examined wheather there are actually legal restrictions in place or not. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 20:42, 2 September 2014 (CEST)
:This section is pretty much outdated after 12 years, obviously. I've decided to fix bad use of the word "freeware" for the few remaining games myself and gave more explicit rejection reasons, like "missing license" or "no redistribution". Exception: [[C-Dogs SDL]] and [[OpenRA]] became libre in the meantime. I did not eliminate the word "freeware" entirely, but I made sure this word alone was never the actual ''rejection reason''. For the future, I suggest to never use the word "freeware" as the sole rejection reason due to possible misinterpretations. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 19:10, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

== [DONE] Un-reject UFO:AI ==

The UFO:AI folks have made a serious effort to get rid of all non-free or unclear media. With the release of 2.5, this goal has been achieved. UFO:AI should be removed from this list.

Here is the full list of media licenses: http://ufoai.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ufoai/ufoai;a=blob;f=LICENSES

== RedEclipse ==

According to the RedEclipse-FAQ:
Red Eclipse itself and the Cube Engine 2 are under the zlib License.
All content in the game is Free, and no more strict than the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA license.
For more details, see license.txt and trademark.txt.

Akashi-Font is released under OFL (SIL Open Font Licence 1.1), so that shouldn't be a problem either

--[[User:Dr. Azrael Tod|Dr. Azrael Tod]] ([[User talk:Dr. Azrael Tod|talk]]) 11:17, 21 November 2014 (CET)

:The very first entry in this list says "Omitted" for copyright and license fields for several files... http://redeclipse.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/redeclipse/doc/all-licenses.txt?revision=5993

:That means it's not free and thus cannot be included. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 18:41, 23 November 2014 (CET)

:Looks like RedEclipse and its data is now in Debian's main repository in the upcoming Debian version suggesting it's free, should be investigated. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 18:27, 23 January 2015 (CET)

:: these directories (bin/* src/include/* src/lib/* src/enet/* src/site/* src/xcode/* game/mek/*) neither contain code nor content original to redeclipse, and are thus excluded from beeing declared as zlib/CC-BY-SA. That still doesn't mean RE is nonfree. Hell.. it's even called include/site/xcode/whatever. You can see that with one simple look at what you just read. --[[User:Dr. Azrael Tod|Dr. Azrael Tod]] ([[User talk:Dr. Azrael Tod|talk]]) 15:46, 12 February 2015 (CET)

::: Unless there is a distribution without the non free files, RedEclipse does not comply with the requirements of LibreGameWiki. --[[User:Hendrik Brummermann|Hendrik Brummermann]] ([[User talk:Hendrik Brummermann|talk]]) 23:17, 12 February 2015 (CET)

:::: what? did you even read what i wrote? That these files aren't declared that doesn't mean they are closed-source parts. Just look at /src/lib, there you have SDL, enet (network-lib, BSD-Style) freetype and zlib. None of that is unfree. looking at src/xcode doesn't make any sense at all, same for binary-dirs with generated content. Why don't you go and claim what's unfree in your opinion instead of repeating this? --[[User:Dr. Azrael Tod|Dr. Azrael Tod]] ([[User talk:Dr. Azrael Tod|talk]]) 11:04, 18 February 2015 (CET)

::::: I am referring to http://redeclipse.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/redeclipse/doc/all-licenses.txt, which says "Files: bin/* src/include/* src/lib/* src/enet/* src/site/* src/xcode/* game/mek/*, Copyright: Omitted, License: Omitted". Omitting copyright and license information is not acceptable, unless -as I sayed- there is a distribution without those files. --13:42, 18 February 2015 (CET)

:::::: yes, you repeated that now at least thrice. But still: that this file doesn't note that SDL is opensource doesn't make SDL closed-source. And that SVN is outdated since RE switched to a git repo on github. See: https://github.com/red-eclipse/base/blob/master/doc/license.txt

::::::: The correct address of the file in the git repository is https://github.com/red-eclipse/base/blob/master/doc/all-licenses.txt. --[[User:Hendrik Brummermann|Hendrik Brummermann]] ([[User talk:Hendrik Brummermann|talk]]) 22:02, 18 February 2015 (CET)

https://software.opensuse.org/package/redeclipse ships it officially which means it underwent strict commercially grade legal review to pass. I don't understand your concerns.

Unvanquished does not contain any non-free shaderlab code anymore:

https://github.com/Unvanquished/Unvanquished/blob/a395fc4f3f9c09024f8503220dbf845f8fe2c531/COPYING.txt

== Simutrans ==

Even [https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=simutrans Debian] ships it. It uses an [https://opensource.org/licenses/Artistic-1.0 Open Source compliant] license. While the Artistic license may not be the best choice, you are clearly overdoing it with your "libre" standards here. [[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 02:35, 1 January 2021 (CET)
:Uhhh … You hit an awkward edge case here. Simutrans is under Artistic License 1.0, which is OSI-approved but not FSF-approved. FSF rejects it for being too vague. FSF accepts Artistic License 2.0 tho. So the real question is whether LGW should allow only FSF-approved licenses, only OSI-approved licenses or both. I think this should be discussed at [[Libregamewiki:Community portal]] first. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 08:48, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

== [DONE] OpenRA ==

Given that [[OpenHV]] is now available using the OpenRA engine, I think it's time to remove OpenRA from the list since completely free games can be played in it. [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 15:32, 4 February 2021 (CET)

== [DONE] Warsow ==

There is now http://warfork.com/ which aimed at solely distributing via Steam, so they started out freely licensed but then quickly went proprietary again. According to the developers, it should be possible to create a "LibreSow" using https://github.com/TeamForbiddenLLC/warfork-free-soundpacks and https://github.com/TeamForbiddenLLC/warfork-free-textures while the engine was free the whole time.

== Unciv might be libre soon(ish) ==

It is not fully libre yet, so the rejection still has to stand atm. But there are currently efforts in Unciv (pushed by me) to get rid of non-free files and bad licensing. Hexarealm license has been revealed to be CC BY-SA 3.0 ([https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv/pull/15220 PR pending]). All the -NC sounds and other non-free sounds (Pixabay License) have already been [https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv/issues/15174 replaced]. FUN FACT: It turned out that many of the "non-free files" under Pixabay License were actually CC0 originally pulled from Freesound authors, but re-uploaded by Pixabay on their website under their proprietary terms … Capitalism is !!!FUN!!! (pro-tip: If you ever find "non-free" sounds under Pixabay License in a game, there is a chance it was actually just pulled from Freesound as CC0. Search for the same title and author name on Freesound) Anyway, take a close watch on Unciv in the next weeks, it might become libre. Those who are interested might want to re-review the licensing already to search for other issues that the original rejection didn’t find. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 18:45, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

== You're the OS! ==

The rejection of ''You're the OS!'' seems outdated. It claims that several asses are "not libre" but the readme sounds like everything is libre? I request a re-review. Note that not everything from Pixabay is automatically non-free, apparently they have (or had) some CC0 files as well. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 19:23, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

== Unciv might be libre soon(ish) ==

It is not fully libre yet, so the rejection still has to stand atm. But there are currently efforts in Unciv (pushed by me) to get rid of non-free files and bad licensing. Hexarealm license has been revealed to be CC BY-SA 3.0 ([https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv/pull/15220 PR pending]). All the -NC sounds and other non-free sounds (Pixabay License) have already been [https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv/issues/15174 replaced]. FUN FACT: It turned out that many of the "non-free files" under Pixabay License were actually CC0 originally pulled from Freesound authors, but re-uploaded by Pixabay on their website under their proprietary terms … Capitalism is !!!FUN!!! (pro-tip: If you ever find "non-free" sounds under Pixabay License in a game, there is a chance it was actually just pulled from Freesound as CC0. Search for the same title and author name on Freesound) Anyway, take a close watch on Unciv in the next weeks, it might become libre. Those who are interested might want to re-review the licensing already to search for other issues that the original rejection didn’t find. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 18:45, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

Libregamewiki talk:Rejected games list

2026-07-25T19:11:52Z

Wuzzy: mark some sections as DONE

Regarding El ocaso de Sara:
It seems the reason this game was rejected because of it using the Newton physics engine. I read that Newton has been released under a free license now, so maybe this game doesn't have to be rejected anymore? /Cire
: Moved to [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]]. --[[User:AVRS|AVRS]] 18:46, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

== Rechecking Stunt Rally ==

I suggest to check the status of Stunt Rally again. It may be now the case that this game can be removed from this list.

Stunt Rally was rejected because some of its media were non-free.
Stunt Rally had now an update which replaced a lot of media files. The motivation of this was to have better quality and to get rid of copyrighted content in the process. I do not know if now all the content is under a free license now. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 19:52, 2 September 2014 (CEST)

== [DONE] Poor usage of the term “freeware” ==
I suggest to remove usage of the term “freeware”, because there is no really broad accepted meaning. Some may mean by “freeware” only “software that costs nothing” and don’t imply any legal or other restrictions. Some others also imply restrictions by using the term. This page is even worse, it applies the term “freeware” to data as well. So I suggest to avoid the term “freeware” altogether.

Therefore, “freeware” should not be a reason to reject a game.
Justify it with “proprietary software” or “copyright restrictions” (if this is actually the case), which is clearer than just “freeware”.

List of games which are definitately proprietary, I will rewrite the entries to replace the term “freeware” soon:
* Angband
* C-Dogs SDL
* Knytt
* Knytt Stories
* Nelly's Rooftop Garden
* Planet M.U.L.E.

List of games where it is unclear if the usage of the word “freeware” may just have meant “at no cost” with no other implications:
* OpenRA
* Within a Deep Forest

It needs to be examined wheather there are actually legal restrictions in place or not. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 20:42, 2 September 2014 (CEST)
:This section is pretty much outdated after 12 years, obviously. I've decided to fix bad use of the word "freeware" for the few remaining games myself and gave more explicit rejection reasons, like "missing license" or "no redistribution". Exception: C-Dogs SDL became libre in the meantime. I did not eliminate the word "freeware" entirely, but I made sure this word alone was never the actual ''rejection reason''. For the future, I suggest to never use the word "freeware" as the sole rejection reason as this word due to possible misinterpretations. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 19:10, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

== RedEclipse ==

According to the RedEclipse-FAQ:
Red Eclipse itself and the Cube Engine 2 are under the zlib License.
All content in the game is Free, and no more strict than the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA license.
For more details, see license.txt and trademark.txt.

Akashi-Font is released under OFL (SIL Open Font Licence 1.1), so that shouldn't be a problem either

see: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/scm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20130429/1009029.html or http://code.metager.de/source/xref/redeclipse/data/fonts/akashi-license.txt

:The very first entry in this list says "Omitted" for copyright and license fields for several files... http://redeclipse.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/redeclipse/doc/all-licenses.txt?revision=5993

:That means it's not free and thus cannot be included. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 18:41, 23 November 2014 (CET)

:: these directories (bin/* src/include/* src/lib/* src/enet/* src/site/* src/xcode/* game/mek/*) neither contain code nor content original to redeclipse, and are thus excluded from beeing declared as zlib/CC-BY-SA. That still doesn't mean RE is nonfree. Hell.. it's even called include/site/xcode/whatever.

:::: what? did you even read what i wrote? That these files aren't declared that doesn't mean they are closed-source parts. Just look at /src/lib, there you have SDL, enet (network-lib, BSD-Style) freetype and zlib. None of that is unfree. looking at src/xcode doesn't make any sense at all, same for binary-dirs with generated content. Why don't you go and claim what's unfree in your opinion instead of repeating this? --[[User:Dr. Azrael Tod|Dr. Azrael Tod]] ([[User talk:Dr. Azrael Tod|talk]]) 11:04, 18 February 2015 (CET)

Omitting copyright and license information is not acceptable, unless -as I sayed- there is a distribution without those files. --13:42, 18 February 2015 (CET)

:::::: yes, you repeated that now at least thrice. But still: that this file doesn't note that SDL is opensource doesn't make SDL closed-source. And that SVN is outdated since RE switched to a git repo on github. See: https://github.com/red-eclipse/base/blob/master/doc/license.txt

== Simutrans ==

Even [https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=simutrans Debian] ships it. It uses an [https://opensource.org/licenses/Artistic-1.0 Open Source compliant] license. While the Artistic license may not be the best choice, you are clearly overdoing it with your "libre" standards here. [[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 02:35, 1 January 2021 (CET)
:Uhhh … You hit an awkward edge case here. Simutrans is under Artistic License 1.0, which is OSI-approved but not FSF-approved. FSF rejects it for being too vague. FSF accepts Artistic License 2.0 tho. So the real question is whether LGW should allow only FSF-approved licenses, only OSI-approved licenses or both. I think this should be discussed at [[Libregamewiki:Community portal]] first. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 08:48, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

== OpenRA ==

Given that [[OpenHV]] is now available using the OpenRA engine, I think it's time to remove OpenRA from the list since completely free games can be played in it. [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 15:32, 4 February 2021 (CET)

== Warsow ==

There is now http://warfork.com/ which aimed at solely distributing via Steam, so they started out freely licensed but then quickly went proprietary again. According to the developers, it should be possible to create a "LibreSow" using https://github.com/TeamForbiddenLLC/warfork-free-soundpacks and https://github.com/TeamForbiddenLLC/warfork-free-textures while the engine was free the whole time.

== Unciv might be libre soon(ish) ==

It is not fully libre yet, so the rejection still has to stand atm. But there are currently efforts in Unciv (pushed by me) to get rid of non-free files and bad licensing. Hexarealm license has been revealed to be CC BY-SA 3.0 ([https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv/pull/15220 PR pending]). All the -NC sounds and other non-free sounds (Pixabay License) have already been [https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv/issues/15174 replaced]. FUN FACT: It turned out that many of the "non-free files" under Pixabay License were actually CC0 originally pulled from Freesound authors, but re-uploaded by Pixabay on their website under their proprietary terms … Capitalism is !!!FUN!!! (pro-tip: If you ever find "non-free" sounds under Pixabay License in a game, there is a chance it was actually just pulled from Freesound as CC0. Search for the same title and author name on Freesound) Anyway, take a close watch on Unciv in the next weeks, it might become libre. Those who are interested might want to re-review the licensing already to search for other issues that the original rejection didn’t find. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 18:45, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

Libregamewiki:Rejected games list

2026-07-25T19:04:02Z

Wuzzy: /* W */ Give stronger reason to reject Within a Deep Forest than the word "freeware"

'''Rejected games list''' is a list of games which were rejected to have articles in the [[Libregamewiki]] for not complying with the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy|article policy]], but for which it is likely that somebody will try to add them or do time-consuming research about their freeness (or there is a significant hope of liberation, e.g. it is apparently non-free only because it has been derived from a then-non-free work).

Note that the licenses of a game can change, and that a game may be put here erroneously, so being on this list does not mean the game is rejected forever: if you think a listed game actually is free, you can start a discussion on [[Libregamewiki_talk:Rejected games list|the talk page]].

In the meantime if you do find a game to be non-free in your research, be sure also to remove it from [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]] when you add it here. Just in case.

Lists of games rejected by other projects:

* {{Reject
|name=Inside The Box [https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox]
|reason=This rejection refers to the game from the Luanti community. Specifically, this refers to the source code release at [https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox] (i.e. not the server in Luanti). The license is LGPL-2.1 and CC BY-SA 4.0, so that’s not the problem. But technically, this release is not a ''game'' because it lacks any playable levels or content. Per the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy]], only free ''games'' may be included. According to the repository’s description, this release is meant to be run as a server, where users then go on to build levels which then can be played by players. However, this release does not contain any levels by itself, not even tutorial or example levels. It doesn’t seem adding new levels to this release is planned. This rejection should probably be lifted once it becomes a proper playable game with libre levels.

This rejection should probably be lifted once it becomes a proper playable game with libre levels.

:That does not make the game non-free. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 17:36, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
:: Section 1 of the Open Source definition says: "The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale." So, assume I bought a copy of the game with the source code. Since I am not allowed to give it to my neighbor, this is not free software.
:::If you're not allowed to give it to your neighbor, it's not free software, sure. But if they only give the source code to paying customers, that's ok. (The customer must be allowed to pass it along.) [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 19:05, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
::::Selling code is okay with free SW, it doesn't violate anything, however '''at the same time the source code has to be available to anyone''' for free in order to respect freedom to study and modify. So the question here is whether the source code is available somewhere else for anyone. If the source is really freely licensed, anyone would be able to legally host (redistribute) it somewhere for free. If this is not allowed, the license is not free. --[[User:Drummyfish|Drummyfish]] ([[User talk:Drummyfish|talk]]) 08:34, 22 January 2019 (CET)

Libregamewiki:Rejected games list

2026-07-25T18:56:53Z

Wuzzy: /* H */ Hurrican: Replace wrong use of "open source" with "source-available"

'''Rejected games list''' is a list of games which were rejected to have articles in the [[Libregamewiki]] for not complying with the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy|article policy]], but for which it is likely that somebody will try to add them or do time-consuming research about their freeness (or there is a significant hope of liberation, e.g. it is apparently non-free only because it has been derived from a then-non-free work).

Note that the licenses of a game can change, and that a game may be put here erroneously, so being on this list does not mean the game is rejected forever: if you think a listed game actually is free, you can start a discussion on [[Libregamewiki_talk:Rejected games list|the talk page]].

In the meantime if you do find a game to be non-free in your research, be sure also to remove it from [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]] when you add it here. Just in case.

Lists of games rejected by other projects:
* [http://wiki.debian.org/Games/Unsuitable Debian]

Also the game seems to be substantially based on the non-free Lord of The Rings universe going beyond mere inspiration, e.g.: Angband and Morgoth are exactly copied from Silmarillion, races are the same (including Dunadan) etc. The FAQ of the Tolkien Estate explicitly forbids this use<ref>https://www.tolkienestate.com/frequently-asked-questions-and-links/</ref> and has won legal battles in the past.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/dec/18/copyright-claim-against-tolkien-estate-backfires-on-lord-of-the-rings-fanfiction-author</ref>

* {{Reject
|name=Inside The Box [https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox]
|reason=This rejection refers to the game from the Luanti community. Specifically, this refers to the source code release at [https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox] (i.e. not the server in Luanti). The license is LGPL-2.1 and CC BY-SA 4.0, so that’s not the problem. But technically, this release is not a ''game'' because it lacks any playable levels or content. Per the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy]], only free ''games'' may be included. According to the repository’s description, this release is meant to be run as a server, where users then go on to build levels which then can be played by players. However, this release does not contain any levels by itself, not even tutorial or example levels. It doesn’t seem adding new levels to this release is planned. This rejection should probably be lifted once it becomes a proper playable game with libre levels.

:That does not make the game non-free. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 17:36, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
:: Section 1 of the Open Source definition says: "The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale." So, assume I bought a copy of the game with the source code. Since I am not allowed to give it to my neighbor, this is not free software.
:::If you're not allowed to give it to your neighbor, it's not free software, sure. But if they only give the source code to paying customers, that's ok. (The customer must be allowed to pass it along.) [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 19:05, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
::::Selling code is okay with free SW, it doesn't violate anything, however '''at the same time the source code has to be available to anyone''' for free in order to respect freedom to study and modify. So the question here is whether the source code is available somewhere else for anyone. If the source is really freely licensed, anyone would be able to legally host (redistribute) it somewhere for free. If this is not allowed, the license is not free. --[[User:Drummyfish|Drummyfish]] ([[User talk:Drummyfish|talk]]) 08:34, 22 January 2019 (CET)

Libregamewiki:Rejected games list

2026-07-25T18:55:30Z

Wuzzy: /* C */ update rejection date on CoreBreach since new rejection reasons have been added today

'''Rejected games list''' is a list of games which were rejected to have articles in the [[Libregamewiki]] for not complying with the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy|article policy]], but for which it is likely that somebody will try to add them or do time-consuming research about their freeness (or there is a significant hope of liberation, e.g. it is apparently non-free only because it has been derived from a then-non-free work).

Note that the licenses of a game can change, and that a game may be put here erroneously, so being on this list does not mean the game is rejected forever: if you think a listed game actually is free, you can start a discussion on [[Libregamewiki_talk:Rejected games list|the talk page]].

In the meantime if you do find a game to be non-free in your research, be sure also to remove it from [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]] when you add it here. Just in case.

Lists of games rejected by other projects:

|reason=This rejection refers to the game from the Luanti community. Specifically, this refers to the source code release at [https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox] (i.e. not the server in Luanti). The license is LGPL-2.1 and CC BY-SA 4.0, so that’s not the problem. But technically, this release is not a ''game'' because it lacks any playable levels or content. Per the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy]], only free ''games'' may be included. According to the repository’s description, this release is meant to be run as a server, where users then go on to build levels which then can be played by players. However, this release does not contain any levels by itself, not even tutorial or example levels. It doesn’t seem adding new levels to this release is planned. This rejection should probably be lifted once it becomes a proper playable game with libre levels.

|name=My Ex-Boyfriend the Space Tyrant!
|reason=Listed as open source on the Linux Game Database, but SourceCode is available to paying customers only.<ref>http://www.um.com.au/spaceout/</ref>.
:That does not make the game non-free. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 17:36, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
:: Section 1 of the Open Source definition says: "The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale." So, assume I bought a copy of the game with the source code. Since I am not allowed to give it to my neighbor, this is not free software.
:::If you're not allowed to give it to your neighbor, it's not free software, sure. But if they only give the source code to paying customers, that's ok. (The customer must be allowed to pass it along.) [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 19:05, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
::::Selling code is okay with free SW, it doesn't violate anything, however '''at the same time the source code has to be available to anyone''' for free in order to respect freedom to study and modify. So the question here is whether the source code is available somewhere else for anyone. If the source is really freely licensed, anyone would be able to legally host (redistribute) it somewhere for free. If this is not allowed, the license is not free. --[[User:Drummyfish|Drummyfish]] ([[User talk:Drummyfish|talk]]) 08:34, 22 January 2019 (CET)

Libregamewiki:Rejected games list

2026-07-25T18:54:50Z

Wuzzy: /* O */ give a stronger rejection reason for Out-of-Order by naming specific restrictions

'''Rejected games list''' is a list of games which were rejected to have articles in the [[Libregamewiki]] for not complying with the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy|article policy]], but for which it is likely that somebody will try to add them or do time-consuming research about their freeness (or there is a significant hope of liberation, e.g. it is apparently non-free only because it has been derived from a then-non-free work).

Note that the licenses of a game can change, and that a game may be put here erroneously, so being on this list does not mean the game is rejected forever: if you think a listed game actually is free, you can start a discussion on [[Libregamewiki_talk:Rejected games list|the talk page]].

In the meantime if you do find a game to be non-free in your research, be sure also to remove it from [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]] when you add it here. Just in case.

Lists of games rejected by other projects:

Note: as of 2009-11-29, Debian squeeze/sid contains [http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/angband a DSFG-compliant package with no sounds]. Also the game seems to be substantially based on the non-free Lord of The Rings universe going beyond mere inspiration, e.g.: Angband and Morgoth are exactly copied from Silmarillion, races are the same (including Dunadan) etc. The FAQ of the Tolkien Estate explicitly forbids this use<ref>https://www.tolkienestate.com/frequently-asked-questions-and-links/</ref> and has won legal battles in the past.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/dec/18/copyright-claim-against-tolkien-estate-backfires-on-lord-of-the-rings-fanfiction-author</ref>

|name=Inside The Box [https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox]
|reason=This rejection refers to the game from the Luanti community. Specifically, this refers to the source code release at [https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox] (i.e. not the server in Luanti). The license is LGPL-2.1 and CC BY-SA 4.0, so that’s not the problem. But technically, this release is not a ''game'' because it lacks any playable levels or content. Per the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy]], only free ''games'' may be included. According to the repository’s description, this release is meant to be run as a server, where users then go on to build levels which then can be played by players. However, this release does not contain any levels by itself, not even tutorial or example levels. It doesn’t seem adding new levels to this release is planned. This rejection should probably be lifted once it becomes a proper playable game with libre levels.

It currently has the same problem like Inside The Box and lacks any playable levels and therefore isn’t really a ''game'' yet. But it is open to contributions. This rejection should probably be lifted once it becomes a proper playable game with libre levels.

|reason=Listed as open source on the Linux Game Database, but SourceCode is available to paying customers only.<ref>http://www.um.com.au/spaceout/</ref>.
:That does not make the game non-free. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 17:36, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
:: Section 1 of the Open Source definition says: "The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale." So, assume I bought a copy of the game with the source code. Since I am not allowed to give it to my neighbor, this is not free software.
:::If you're not allowed to give it to your neighbor, it's not free software, sure. But if they only give the source code to paying customers, that's ok. (The customer must be allowed to pass it along.) [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 19:05, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
::::Selling code is okay with free SW, it doesn't violate anything, however '''at the same time the source code has to be available to anyone''' for free in order to respect freedom to study and modify. So the question here is whether the source code is available somewhere else for anyone. If the source is really freely licensed, anyone would be able to legally host (redistribute) it somewhere for free. If this is not allowed, the license is not free. --[[User:Drummyfish|Drummyfish]] ([[User talk:Drummyfish|talk]]) 08:34, 22 January 2019 (CET)

Libregamewiki:Rejected games list

2026-07-25T18:50:21Z

Wuzzy: /* C */ give stronger rejection reason for CoreBreach with "no redistribution" condition

'''Rejected games list''' is a list of games which were rejected to have articles in the [[Libregamewiki]] for not complying with the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy|article policy]], but for which it is likely that somebody will try to add them or do time-consuming research about their freeness (or there is a significant hope of liberation, e.g. it is apparently non-free only because it has been derived from a then-non-free work).

Note that the licenses of a game can change, and that a game may be put here erroneously, so being on this list does not mean the game is rejected forever: if you think a listed game actually is free, you can start a discussion on [[Libregamewiki_talk:Rejected games list|the talk page]].

In the meantime if you do find a game to be non-free in your research, be sure also to remove it from [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]] when you add it here. Just in case.

Lists of games rejected by other projects:

Note: as of 2009-11-29, Debian squeeze/sid contains [http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/angband a DSFG-compliant package with no sounds]. Also the game seems to be substantially based on the non-free Lord of The Rings universe going beyond mere inspiration, e.g.: Angband and Morgoth are exactly copied from Silmarillion, races are the same (including Dunadan) etc. The FAQ of the Tolkien Estate explicitly forbids this use<ref>https://www.tolkienestate.com/frequently-asked-questions-and-links/</ref> and has won legal battles in the past.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/dec/18/copyright-claim-against-tolkien-estate-backfires-on-lord-of-the-rings-fanfiction-author</ref>

* {{Reject
|name=Inside The Box [https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox]
|reason=This rejection refers to the game from the Luanti community. Specifically, this refers to the source code release at [https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox] (i.e. not the server in Luanti). The license is LGPL-2.1 and CC BY-SA 4.0, so that’s not the problem. But technically, this release is not a ''game'' because it lacks any playable levels or content. Per the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy]], only free ''games'' may be included. According to the repository’s description, this release is meant to be run as a server, where users then go on to build levels which then can be played by players. However, this release does not contain any levels by itself, not even tutorial or example levels. It doesn’t seem adding new levels to this release is planned. This rejection should probably be lifted once it becomes a proper playable game with libre levels.

:That does not make the game non-free. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 17:36, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
:: Section 1 of the Open Source definition says: "The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale." So, assume I bought a copy of the game with the source code. Since I am not allowed to give it to my neighbor, this is not free software.
:::If you're not allowed to give it to your neighbor, it's not free software, sure. But if they only give the source code to paying customers, that's ok. (The customer must be allowed to pass it along.) [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 19:05, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
::::Selling code is okay with free SW, it doesn't violate anything, however '''at the same time the source code has to be available to anyone''' for free in order to respect freedom to study and modify. So the question here is whether the source code is available somewhere else for anyone. If the source is really freely licensed, anyone would be able to legally host (redistribute) it somewhere for free. If this is not allowed, the license is not free. --[[User:Drummyfish|Drummyfish]] ([[User talk:Drummyfish|talk]]) 08:34, 22 January 2019 (CET)

Libregamewiki talk:Rejected games list

2026-07-25T18:45:56Z

Wuzzy: /* Unciv might be libre soon(ish) */ new section

Regarding El ocaso de Sara:
It seems the reason this game was rejected because of it using the Newton physics engine. I read that Newton has been released under a free license now, so maybe this game doesn't have to be rejected anymore? /Cire
: Moved to [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]]. --[[User:AVRS|AVRS]] 18:46, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

== Rechecking Stunt Rally ==

I suggest to check the status of Stunt Rally again. It may be now the case that this game can be removed from this list.

Stunt Rally was rejected because some of its media were non-free.
Stunt Rally had now an update which replaced a lot of media files. The motivation of this was to have better quality and to get rid of copyrighted content in the process. I do not know if now all the content is under a free license now. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 19:52, 2 September 2014 (CEST)

== Poor usage of the term “freeware” ==
I suggest to remove usage of the term “freeware”, because there is no really broad accepted meaning. Some may mean by “freeware” only “software that costs nothing” and don’t imply any legal or other restrictions. Some others also imply restrictions by using the term. This page is even worse, it applies the term “freeware” to data as well. So I suggest to avoid the term “freeware” altogether.

Therefore, “freeware” should not be a reason to reject a game.
Justify it with “proprietary software” or “copyright restrictions” (if this is actually the case), which is clearer than just “freeware”.

List of games which are definitately proprietary, I will rewrite the entries to replace the term “freeware” soon:
* Angband
* C-Dogs SDL
* Knytt
* Knytt Stories
* Nelly's Rooftop Garden
* Planet M.U.L.E.

List of games where it is unclear if the usage of the word “freeware” may just have meant “at no cost” with no other implications:
* OpenRA
* Within a Deep Forest

It needs to be examined wheather there are actually legal restrictions in place or not. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 20:42, 2 September 2014 (CEST)

== Un-reject UFO:AI ==

The UFO:AI folks have made a serious effort to get rid of all non-free or unclear media. With the release of 2.5, this goal has been achieved. UFO:AI should be removed from this list.

Here is the full list of media licenses: http://ufoai.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ufoai/ufoai;a=blob;f=LICENSES

== RedEclipse ==

According to the RedEclipse-FAQ:
Red Eclipse itself and the Cube Engine 2 are under the zlib License.
All content in the game is Free, and no more strict than the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA license.
For more details, see license.txt and trademark.txt.

Akashi-Font is released under OFL (SIL Open Font Licence 1.1), so that shouldn't be a problem either

:: these directories (bin/* src/include/* src/lib/* src/enet/* src/site/* src/xcode/* game/mek/*) neither contain code nor content original to redeclipse, and are thus excluded from beeing declared as zlib/CC-BY-SA.

:::: what? did you even read what i wrote? That these files aren't declared that doesn't mean they are closed-source parts. Just look at /src/lib, there you have SDL, enet (network-lib, BSD-Style) freetype and zlib. None of that is unfree. looking at src/xcode doesn't make any sense at all, same for binary-dirs with generated content. Why don't you go and claim what's unfree in your opinion instead of repeating this? --[[User:Dr. Azrael Tod|Dr. Azrael Tod]] ([[User talk:Dr. Azrael Tod|talk]]) 11:04, 18 February 2015 (CET)

Even [https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=simutrans Debian] ships it. It uses an [https://opensource.org/licenses/Artistic-1.0 Open Source compliant] license. While the Artistic license may not be the best choice, you are clearly overdoing it with your "libre" standards here. [[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 02:35, 1 January 2021 (CET)
:Uhhh … You hit an awkward edge case here. Simutrans is under Artistic License 1.0, which is OSI-approved but not FSF-approved. FSF rejects it for being too vague. FSF accepts Artistic License 2.0 tho. So the real question is whether LGW should allow only FSF-approved licenses, only OSI-approved licenses or both. I think this should be discussed at [[Libregamewiki:Community portal]] first. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 08:48, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

== OpenRA ==

Given that [[OpenHV]] is now available using the OpenRA engine, I think it's time to remove OpenRA from the list since completely free games can be played in it. [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 15:32, 4 February 2021 (CET)

There is now http://warfork.com/ which aimed at solely distributing via Steam, so they started out freely licensed but then quickly went proprietary again. According to the developers, it should be possible to create a "LibreSow" using https://github.com/TeamForbiddenLLC/warfork-free-soundpacks and https://github.com/TeamForbiddenLLC/warfork-free-textures while the engine was free the whole time.

== Unciv might be libre soon(ish) ==

It is not fully libre yet, so the rejection still has to stand atm. But there are currently efforts in Unciv (pushed by me) to get rid of non-free files and bad licensing. Hexarealm license has been revealed to be CC BY-SA 3.0 ([https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv/pull/15220 PR pending]). All the -NC sounds and other non-free sounds (Pixabay License) have already been [https://github.com/yairm210/Unciv/issues/15174 replaced]. FUN FACT: It turned out that many of the "non-free files" under Pixabay License were actually CC0 originally pulled from Freesound authors, but re-uploaded by Pixabay on their website under their proprietary terms … Capitalism is !!!FUN!!! (pro-tip: If you ever find "non-free" sounds under Pixabay License in a game, there is a chance it was actually just pulled from Freesound as CC0. Search for the same title and author name on Freesound) Anyway, take a close watch on Unciv in the next weeks, it might become libre. Those who are interested might want to re-review the licensing already to search for other issues that the original rejection didn’t find. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 18:45, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

Libregamewiki:Rejected games list

2026-07-25T18:36:06Z

Wuzzy: /* U */ Add update on Unciv status

'''Rejected games list''' is a list of games which were rejected to have articles in the [[Libregamewiki]] for not complying with the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy|article policy]], but for which it is likely that somebody will try to add them or do time-consuming research about their freeness (or there is a significant hope of liberation, e.g. it is apparently non-free only because it has been derived from a then-non-free work).

Note that the licenses of a game can change, and that a game may be put here erroneously, so being on this list does not mean the game is rejected forever: if you think a listed game actually is free, you can start a discussion on [[Libregamewiki_talk:Rejected games list|the talk page]].

In the meantime if you do find a game to be non-free in your research, be sure also to remove it from [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]] when you add it here. Just in case.

Lists of games rejected by other projects:

* {{Reject
|name=Inside The Box [https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox]
|reason=This rejection refers to the game from the Luanti community. Specifically, this refers to the source code release at [https://gitlab.com/sofar/insidethebox] (i.e. not the server in Luanti). The license is LGPL-2.1 and CC BY-SA 4.0, so that’s not the problem. But technically, this release is not a ''game'' because it lacks any playable levels or content. Per the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy]], only free ''games'' may be included. According to the repository’s description, this release is meant to be run as a server, where users then go on to build levels which then can be played by players. However, this release does not contain any levels by itself, not even tutorial or example levels. It doesn’t seem adding new levels to this release is planned. This rejection should probably be lifted once it becomes a proper playable game with libre levels.

This rejection should probably be lifted once it becomes a proper playable game with libre levels.

:That does not make the game non-free. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 17:36, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
:: Section 1 of the Open Source definition says: "The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale." So, assume I bought a copy of the game with the source code. Since I am not allowed to give it to my neighbor, this is not free software.
:::If you're not allowed to give it to your neighbor, it's not free software, sure. But if they only give the source code to paying customers, that's ok. (The customer must be allowed to pass it along.) [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 19:05, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
::::Selling code is okay with free SW, it doesn't violate anything, however '''at the same time the source code has to be available to anyone''' for free in order to respect freedom to study and modify. So the question here is whether the source code is available somewhere else for anyone. If the source is really freely licensed, anyone would be able to legally host (redistribute) it somewhere for free. If this is not allowed, the license is not free. --[[User:Drummyfish|Drummyfish]] ([[User talk:Drummyfish|talk]]) 08:34, 22 January 2019 (CET)

'''Meritous''' is an action [[:Category:Role-playing games|RPG]] game written by [[Lancer-X/ASCEAI]].<ref name=meritous_readme>[http://www.asceai.net/meritous/readme.txt Meritous README file] accessed on October 14th, 2008.</ref> It is licensed under the [[GNU General Public License|GPL]]v3+, except for the music, whose license was uncertain for Debian in 2008.<ref name=meritous_debian>[http://www.asceai.net/files/meritous_v12_src.tar.bz2 Meritious source code package] accessed on October 14th, 2008.</ref><ref name="meritous_debqa">[http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/meritous.html Debian: Overview of meritous source package] (acc. 2008-11-22)</ref><ref name="meritous_musicbug"/>

==Gameplay==
You play as Merit on a quest in the Orcus Dome, a large underground structure with many interconnected rooms filled with hostile beings, but it also holds valuable artifacts. You can control the power of psi which allows you to attack everything within a certain radius around you, in the same room as you. You can charge the attack to make it stronger, but then it needs more time to recharge. On your quest, you will collect crystals which you can use to upgrade your psi powers: Charging, recharging and reflect shield.

==Developers==
The game was developed by [[Lancer-X/ASCEAI]], beta tested by [[Quasar]], [[Terryn]] and [[Wervyn]].

It uses music by various authors, one of whom is unknown. Because of that, the music was not included in the Debian packages.

==Availability==
Debian lenny/sid contain a package of Meritous with at least music removed, available for GNU/Linux, GNU/Hurd, GNU/kFreeBSD. The package is maintained by [[Dylan R. E. Moonfire]], and has been accepted in unstable on 2008-02-09.<ref name="meritous_debqa"/>

Wuzzy: /* Lists */ remove articles that have been completely dealt with in LGW

This page proposes games that:
* May meet the criteria in the [[Libregamewiki:Article_policy|Libregamewiki's Article policy]] (but additional research may be needed to confirm that),
* and are not on the [[Libregamewiki:Rejected games list|Libregamewiki's Rejected games list]],
* and does not yet have an article on the Libregamewiki.

To create an article:
* Investigate if the game meets the criteria in Libregamewiki's Article policy
** If it does, search for the game's title on this wiki and click on the red link to create an article about the game
** If it does not, add the game's title to Libregamewiki's Rejected games list
* When an article has been created, or the game has been listed on the Rejected games list, remove the game's entry from the lists below.

== Games by last release ==
=== 2026 ===
* '''[https://gedcho.itch.io/lanpan-suli lanpan suli]''' ([[lanpan suli|*]]) - short virtual gamebook in the Toki Pona language, made for the [https://itch.io/jam/tu pali musi 2026] game jam. This game is only distributed on itch.io, which adds a small bit of software to the game, but importing into Twine and re-exporting removes that software, so re-uploading it elsewhere would be easy if it turns out the software that itch.io adds is nonfree.
* '''[https://meepymeeper123.itch.io/utala-pi-kama-sona utala pi kama sona]''' ([[utala pi kama sona|*]]) - minimalist platformer-like game made for the [https://itch.io/jam/tu pali musi 2026] game jam

* '''[https://www.artsoft.org/rocksndiamonds/ Rocks'n'Diamonds]''' ([[Rocks'n'Diamonds|*]]) - Clone of Boulder-Dash-style games, including Boudler Dash, Emerald Mine, Supaplex, Sokoban. GPL. However, it also includes levels of the original aforementioned games and I have no clue of the licensing of it.
* '''[https://sourceforge.net/projects/atc-pie/ ATC-pie]''' ([[ACT-pie|*]]) - Air Traffic Control simulator. GPLv3

=== 2025 ===
* '''[https://iamsul.itch.io/the-book-of-things The Book of Things]''' ([[The Book of Things|*]]) - visal novel where you draw the artwork while playing
* '''[https://zenorogue.itch.io/nil-rider Nil Rider]''' ([[Nil Rider|*]]) - Code: GPL-3.0; music: CC-BY-SA 3.0; most visuals are generated by the engine.
* '''[http://revolutionarygamesstudio.com/ Thrive]''' ([[Thrive|*]]) - Spore-like game, GPL + CC-BY-SA (mentioned on [http://revolutionarygamesstudio.com/get-involved/ this page]). That confusing page first says media is cc-by-sa, then non-commercial??
** [https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/blob/master/LICENSE.txt Code] is GPL3+; [https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/blob/master/assets/README.txt Assets] are mostly CC BY-SA 3.0, except some fonts with SIL OFL. Likely problematic are [https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/tree/master/assets/textures/gui/social_media social media icons] because »Assets in the folder "assets/textures/gui/social_media/" and subfolders are licenses by their individual corporations.« Game is also on [https://revolutionarygames.itch.io/thrive Itch] [[User:Kribbel|Kribbel]] ([[User talk:Kribbel|talk]]) 17:46, 15 December 2022 (CET)
*** Per [[Libregamewiki:Article_policy]], "If there is non-free content, it must not undermine commercial viability, make modification difficult, and anything that would impact the 'freeness' of libre games." This suggests the social media icons are okay, though the specific licenses are not very clear. There is another nonfree license, "steam_license_readme.txt", but this probably only applies on Steam. There should probably be a note on the game page that the Steam version is proprietary. [[User:Jacob K|Jacob K]] ([[User talk:Jacob K|talk]]) 20:47, 21 January 2025 (CET)

I am not sure if the Wi-Fi chip includes nonfree software or hardware, but there is also a digital version where that wouldn't be a concern.

=== 2024 ===
* '''[https://kanderwund.itch.io/evisceratethisgirl Eviscerate This Girl]''' ([[Eviscerate This Girl|*]]) - horror game about a website. The title is in normally written in all caps. The itch.io page says "All assets besides fonts are public domain." and fonts are usually free, but this should be double-checked.
* '''[https://droog71.itch.io/lift Lift]''' ([[Lift|*]]) - Apache licensed hovercraft racer. Unsure on the asset licensing as I can't find any information?

* '''[https://github.com/kadw108/Messages-From-the-Universe-Graveyard Messages From the Universe Graveyard]''' ([[Messages From the Universe Graveyard|*]]) - abandoned MMO with secrets to explore ([https://kanderwund.itch.io/messages also on itch.io])
** A few of the images and one audio file are non-free-licensed or missing licenses. The version on GitHub does not contain any audio or images, but the version on itch.io does. The version on GitHub is probably acceptable, but the version on itch.io is probably not. It may be good to make a version that has only the free media, making it obvious that it is incomplete.

Libregamewiki:Suggested games

Wuzzy: /* Unsorted */ remove SnakeMe and Twin Distress (articles exist)

This page proposes games that:
* May meet the criteria in the [[Libregamewiki:Article_policy|Libregamewiki's Article policy]] (but additional research may be needed to confirm that),
* and are not on the [[Libregamewiki:Rejected games list|Libregamewiki's Rejected games list]],
* and does not yet have an article on the Libregamewiki.

To create an article:
* Investigate if the game meets the criteria in Libregamewiki's Article policy
** If it does, search for the game's title on this wiki and click on the red link to create an article about the game
** If it does not, add the game's title to Libregamewiki's Rejected games list
* When an article has been created, or the game has been listed on the Rejected games list, remove the game's entry from the lists below.

== Games by last release ==
=== 2026 ===
* '''[https://gedcho.itch.io/lanpan-suli lanpan suli]''' ([[lanpan suli|*]]) - short virtual gamebook in the Toki Pona language, made for the [https://itch.io/jam/tu pali musi 2026] game jam. This game is only distributed on itch.io, which adds a small bit of software to the game, but importing into Twine and re-exporting removes that software, so re-uploading it elsewhere would be easy if it turns out the software that itch.io adds is nonfree.
* '''[https://meepymeeper123.itch.io/utala-pi-kama-sona utala pi kama sona]''' ([[utala pi kama sona|*]]) - minimalist platformer-like game made for the [https://itch.io/jam/tu pali musi 2026] game jam
* '''[https://codeberg.org/sonnenwende/sonnenwende Sonnenwende]''' ([[Sonnenwende|*]]) - Simulation game for the transition to solar-based energy production. AGPL
* '''[https://github.com/m4ym4y/museum-of-all-things The Museum of All Things]''' ([[The Museum of All Things|*]]) - Explore Wikipedia in a nearly infinite virtual museum. MIT License
* '''[https://mailbun.itch.io/chaosah-magical-arcade Chaosah Magical Arcade]''' ([[Chaosah Magical Arcade|*]]) - a Peggle-like game made for Pepper and Carrot game jam

Wuzzy: /* Games from the List of games */ remove Noiz2sa (article already exists)

This page proposes games that:
* May meet the criteria in the [[Libregamewiki:Article_policy|Libregamewiki's Article policy]] (but additional research may be needed to confirm that),

* When an article has been created, or the game has been listed on the Rejected games list, remove the game's entry from the lists below.

== Games by last release ==
=== 2026 ===
* '''[https://gedcho.itch.io/lanpan-suli lanpan suli]''' ([[lanpan suli|*]]) - short virtual gamebook in the Toki Pona language, made for the [https://itch.io/jam/tu pali musi 2026] game jam. This game is only distributed on itch.io, which adds a small bit of software to the game, but importing into Twine and re-exporting removes that software, so re-uploading it elsewhere would be easy if it turns out the software that itch.io adds is nonfree.
* '''[https://meepymeeper123.itch.io/utala-pi-kama-sona utala pi kama sona]''' ([[utala pi kama sona|*]]) - minimalist platformer-like game made for the [https://itch.io/jam/tu pali musi 2026] game jam
* '''[https://codeberg.org/sonnenwende/sonnenwende Sonnenwende]''' ([[Sonnenwende|*]]) - Simulation game for the transition to solar-based energy production. AGPL
* '''[https://github.com/m4ym4y/museum-of-all-things The Museum of All Things]''' ([[The Museum of All Things|*]]) - Explore Wikipedia in a nearly infinite virtual museum. MIT License
* '''[https://mailbun.itch.io/chaosah-magical-arcade Chaosah Magical Arcade]''' ([[Chaosah Magical Arcade|*]]) - a Peggle-like game made for Pepper and Carrot game jam
* '''[https://www.artsoft.org/rocksndiamonds/ Rocks'n'Diamonds]''' ([[Rocks'n'Diamonds|*]]) - Clone of Boulder-Dash-style games, including Boudler Dash, Emerald Mine, Supaplex, Sokoban. GPL. However, it also includes levels of the original aforementioned games and I have no clue of the licensing of it.
* '''[https://sourceforge.net/projects/atc-pie/ ATC-pie]''' ([[ACT-pie|*]]) - Air Traffic Control simulator. GPLv3

=== 2025 ===
* '''[https://iamsul.itch.io/the-book-of-things The Book of Things]''' ([[The Book of Things|*]]) - visal novel where you draw the artwork while playing
* '''[https://zenorogue.itch.io/nil-rider Nil Rider]''' ([[Nil Rider|*]]) - Code: GPL-3.0; music: CC-BY-SA 3.0; most visuals are generated by the engine.
* '''[http://revolutionarygamesstudio.com/ Thrive]''' ([[Thrive|*]]) - Spore-like game, GPL + CC-BY-SA (mentioned on [http://revolutionarygamesstudio.com/get-involved/ this page]). That confusing page first says media is cc-by-sa, then non-commercial??
** [https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/blob/master/LICENSE.txt Code] is GPL3+; [https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/blob/master/assets/README.txt Assets] are mostly CC BY-SA 3.0, except some fonts with SIL OFL. Likely problematic are [https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/tree/master/assets/textures/gui/social_media social media icons] because »Assets in the folder "assets/textures/gui/social_media/" and subfolders are licenses by their individual corporations.« Game is also on [https://revolutionarygames.itch.io/thrive Itch] [[User:Kribbel|Kribbel]] ([[User talk:Kribbel|talk]]) 17:46, 15 December 2022 (CET)
*** Per [[Libregamewiki:Article_policy]], "If there is non-free content, it must not undermine commercial viability, make modification difficult, and anything that would impact the 'freeness' of libre games." This suggests the social media icons are okay, though the specific licenses are not very clear. There is another nonfree license, "steam_license_readme.txt", but this probably only applies on Steam. There should probably be a note on the game page that the Steam version is proprietary. [[User:Jacob K|Jacob K]] ([[User talk:Jacob K|talk]]) 20:47, 21 January 2025 (CET)
* '''[https://content.luanti.org/packages/Warr1024/piranesi_redo/ Piranesi]''' ([[Piranesi|*]]) - adventure game about exploring a house
* '''[https://github.com/andreamonaco/zombieland Zombieland]''' ([[Zombieland|*]]) - a 2d MMO shooter in development, it already does a few things
* '''[https://sgadrat.itch.io/super-tilt-bro Super Tilt Bro.]''' ([[Super Tilt. Bro.|*]]) - platform fighting game for the NES. The cartridge has a Wi-Fi chip in it for online play. I am not sure if the Wi-Fi chip includes nonfree software or hardware, but there is also a digital version where that wouldn't be a concern.
*'''[https://loig.itch.io/on-est-la On est là !]''' ([[On est là !|*]]) - an arcade puzzle game about building a protest to overthrow capitalism, winner of the [https://itch.io/jam/ebitengine-game-jam-2025/results Ebitengine Game Jam 2025]
*'''[https://content.luanti.org/packages/EmptyStar/asuna/ Asuna]''' ([[Asuna|*]]) - a voxel sandbox game for [[Luanti]] with many biomes to explore. Code: GPLv3 only, media: CC BY-SA 3.0
*'''[https://www.openrails.org/ Open Rails]''' ([[Open Rails|*]]) - train simulator for Windows 7. Code: GPLv3. Media needs to be checked

=== 2024 ===
* '''[https://kanderwund.itch.io/evisceratethisgirl Eviscerate This Girl]''' ([[Eviscerate This Girl|*]]) - horror game about a website. The title is in normally written in all caps. The itch.io page says "All assets besides fonts are public domain." and fonts are usually free, but this should be double-checked.
* '''[https://droog71.itch.io/lift Lift]''' ([[Lift|*]]) - Apache licensed hovercraft racer. Unsure on the asset licensing as I can't find any information?

* '''[https://github.com/kadw108/Messages-From-the-Universe-Graveyard Messages From the Universe Graveyard]''' ([[Messages From the Universe Graveyard|*]]) - abandoned MMO with secrets to explore ([https://kanderwund.itch.io/messages also on itch.io])
** A few of the images and one audio file are non-free-licensed or missing licenses. The version on GitHub does not contain any audio or images, but the version on itch.io does. The version on GitHub is probably acceptable, but the version on itch.io is probably not. It may be good to make a version that has only the free media, making it obvious that it is incomplete. I plan to do this, but does anyone have a different idea? [[User:Jacob K|Jacob K]] ([[User talk:Jacob K|talk]]) 09:04, 28 January 2025 (CET)

* '''[https://content.luanti.org/packages/_Irevol_/citadel/ Citadel]''' ([[Citadel|*]]) - time travel puzzle game that won the [https://content.luanti.org/collections/ContentDB/game_jam_2023/ Luanti 2023 game jam]

=== 2023 ===
* '''[https://ifdb.org/viewgame?id=aearuuxv83plclpl Counterfeit Monkey]''' ([[Counterfeit Monkey|*]]) - text adventure game
* '''[https://ptilouk.itch.io/superfluous-returnz Superfluous Returnz]''' ([[Superfluous Returnz|*]]) - point and click adventure game. Source code available [https://framagit.org/Gee/sosage here].
* '''[https://github.com/pmndrs/racing-game @pmndrs/racing-game]''' ([[pmndrs/racing-game|*]]) - Code: MIT; assets: CC0. Playable online [https://racing.pmnd.rs/ here].

=== 2022 ===
* '''[https://github.com/dmaynard/Darworms/ Darworms]''' ([[Darworms|*]]) - territory capture game written in JavaScript. [https://darworms.com/ darworms.com] [https://davidsmaynard.com/darworms/ home]
** The official version includes Google Analytics which is nonfree, but it's a separate JavaScript file so it's easy to run the game without that; regardless, I think an article for the game should point to a completely free version. The reason I put the game in the "Suggested" rather than "Rejected" section is because of how trivial the changes needed are.
* '''[https://github.com/supermedium/moonrider Moon Rider]''' ([[Moon Rider|*]]) - VR music game where you punch stars as they move along a track
* '''[https://github.com/daid/EmptyEpsilon EmptyEpsilon]''' ([[EmptyEpsilon|*]]) - open-source "clone" of Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator, with new features and gameplay not found in the orignial. (GPL-2.0)
** Just a quick look: It uses [https://github.com/daid/EmptyEpsilon/blob/master/resources/sfx/source.txt#L34 sounds with CC-BY-NC]. And looking at the [https://github.com/daid/EmptyEpsilon/blob/master/resources/music/source.txt music] Dream Raid Full Version (Mock Up).ogg is listed but no license named; Imminent Threat.ogg not even listed.

There is also a Puzzle DLC which includes user-generated puzzles, and I am not sure of the license of those (or whether it matters for the purposes of deciding to include it here). There is also [https://github.com/BlastSlimey/shapezipelago a randomizer for the game], as a module for Archipelago (which is not a libregame, but could easily be made into one).

The normal way of compiling may involve using LCC, a nonfree "C front end", but maybe a workaround is possible?

In '''Shippy 1984''', you are tasked with defending Earth from alien invaders. The game has some powerups and not all enemies simply go back and forth. It is intentionally simple so players can just play easily.

Dennis Payne took over maintaining the game in 2019. He added a two player mode.<ref>[https://identicalsoftware.com/games/arcademachine Open Game Source: Arcade Machine]</ref> A potential future for Shippy 1984 was displayed in a youtube video. It adds a 'cute' look to the game and cutscenes with banter between the two pilots.<ref>[https://youtu.be/ZAzFP90lgW0 Old to Cute - Shippy 1984 Dev Log]</ref>

'''Stellar Crisis''' is the web's first complete multi-player strategy game. Players from all over the world compete to build megalithic galactic empires, develop powerful new technologies, and fight pitched battles in far away star systems.

== Servers ==
{{As of|2026|07|17}}, three stellar crisis servers remain. Two servers run the PHP code. The third runs Almonaster, a different implementation of the game.

# http://homeserve.org/sc/sc.php
# https://sc.rocketempires.com/sc.php
# http://falcon.almonaster.net

== History ==

Originally developed as a tech demo, Stellar Crisis attracted thousands of players in the mid '90s. After briefly going defunct, the game was released into the public domain. Development continued under the GPL. The original Perl code was converted to pike. The pike source code is available here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sc-original/ No servers are currently running the pike code.

The PHP code was developed in the early 2000s. It was originally run on the (now defunct) Iceberg server. Homeserve was started as a replacement. The PHP source code is available here: https://github.com/robotjonboy/stellarcrisisphp

Almonaster source code is available here: https://github.com/mfeingol/almonaster. Though this repository has no license file, the code is licensed under the GPL per https://falcon.almonaster.net/

Rocket Empires has held the Stellar Crisis Open Championship annually since 2011. More information is available on the [https://scopen.rocketempires.com/ tournament homepage.]

'''Help Hannah's Horse''' is a [[:Category:Child-oriented games|child-oriented]] [[:Category:Arcade games|arcade]] game, described as „a cross between Pacman and the Dizzy game "Fastfood"“.

==Story==

Hannah’s horse has been kidnapped and she must collect the coins to pay the ransom, but there are ghosts (three of them) of some dead jockeys who are trying to stop her!

==Gameplay==

There are three difficulty levels:

Easy: The ghosts move slightly slower than Hannah, allowing her to outrun them. There are up to 4 powerpills per level.

Hard: One of the ghosts moves at Hannah's speed, making him harder to avoid. There are up to 2 powerpills per level.

Insane: All of the ghosts move at the same speed as Hannah. There are no powerpills. The game takes place at night time and only the area immediately around Hannah is clearly visible; the rest of the play area is shrouded in darkness!

=== Usual collectables ===

The player controls Hannah in a maze, collecting coins which lie all over the place.

There are also carrots moving around the maze; they also must be collected.

If Hannah touches a ghost, she dies very shortly.

Some pills, when eaten by Hannah, make the ghosts vulnerable to her touch.

=== Other items ===
There may be other items, which can:
* freeze the ghosts;
* switch left and right controls;
* make Hannah invisible for the ghosts.

=== Barriers ===

There are three kinds of non-wall barriers:
* Jumps, which can only be passed by ghosts.
* Wooden gates, which be passed by both Hannah and the ghosts, but only in the top direction.
* Gates, which can only be crossed by Hannah.
* Cross poles, which Hannah needs the key to pass

==Availability==

Debian: since Lenny.<ref>http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=hannah&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all</ref>

==Release history==
The game has been developed since at least 2006. The last version supporting SDL 1.2 was released in July 2020; the current version, requiring SDL 2.0 was released in August 2020.
