Hi, Pierre! The game builds and runs fine on my machine. However, I'm not sure about the media licenses either. The ".cfg" files in the media directory look like scripts that the engine runs and seem to be unlicensed, kind of like the ones from Cube 2: Sauerbraten [0]. For what it's worth, Sauerbraten is currently categorized as non-free in Debian [1] on account of some of its media files. [0]: https://sourceforge.net/p/sauerbraten/code/HEAD/tree/data/ [1]: https://packages.debian.org/buster/sauerbraten
Indeed. The question is: does Tesseract reuse any of the media from Sauerbraten?

Thanks for the investigation.

Cheers!

Hi, <https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html> Here it says it has to be allowed for commercial use otherwise its not Free Software.

But I'd love to hear from someone > else who's more sure than I am. "non-commercial" and "free license" are not related. Well, it is hard to predict what the FSF would conclude for a such license. Because the terms are not really clear. On one hand, you can "transit the sounds as long as they are included with other materials" and on the other hand you cannot "transmit the sounds 'as they are' in any context". b. To copy and transmit the sounds and available content in various mediums or formats as long as the sounds and available content are included in another work or with other materials; i. Resell, rent, sublicense, transmit, and/or distribute or re-distribute the sounds 'as they are' in any context,
Thank you. Alternatively, we can distribute the engine without the media files, call it `tesseract-engine' and move it to game-development.scm. Thoughts?

Pushed tesseract-engine in f67ae666896a51fc6edd1b537e43ed44685cb2a3. Thank you all for your review! Cheers!
