While I realize that debian might have problems with licenses,
we do not have a lawyer, nor can we afford one. Anyone
who expects open-source projects to be magically vetted by the
lawyer-faeries is bound to be sorely disappointed.

Not that I don't want to see icculus.org/quake3 running on every  
distribution,
just that we can't ever be 100% sure of any legal status without  
lawyers.

I'd like to see some kind of process appear for doing this (making sure
licenses are complied with), but that would
be a costly task.
