Hi,

The license of all these packages have that inside:
> 3) You may not charge a fee for the game itself. This includes
> reselling the game as an individual item.

And the FSDG has that:
> Non-functional Data
> -------------------
> Data that isn't functional, that doesn't do a practical job, is more
> of an adornment to the system's software than a part of it. Thus, we

> free, because it is non-functional.

So unfortunately here we need to remove these games.

Denis.

We now ship none of these games as well as a fully bootstrapped
scummvm-based game.  This ought to make everyone happy.

Cheers
