juan.baptiste I can't find where the licensing policy[1] says that, and the content of the ioquake3-demo is completely is free software, so it can be con core. And according to our policy, we follow Fedora licensing guidelines[2], and Fedora includes this quake3-demo too[3], so I don't see the problem having it in core. [1] https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Licensing_policy [2] https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Licensing_policy#Licensing_Guidelines_for_packages [3] http://pkgs.org/fedora-rawhide/fedora-i386/quake3-demo-1.36-14.svn2102.fc18.i686.rpm.html What is problematic is the fact that a core package installs nonfree content on your computer, even if you specifically disabled the nonfree repos because you want a 100% Mageia. Even if the ioquake3-demo package in itself is free, I don't know any easier mechanism to make sure that a user knows he's install nonfree software, than putting the package in nonfree (just like get-skype).

remi This bug is terribly old. At M6, this pkg 'oquake3-demo' is still in 'core'. Accepting earlier comments, do we leave things as they are; or re-classify the pkg as non-free? Who would do this? CC:
