| Due to requests we now only supply tar balls for our Linux games
and no binaries for anything else. This is due to concerns over copyright and licenses for
our games' assets. If you have any questions, please use the feedback forms on the
relevant projects pages. Linux Package Maintainers: Please note that our games are Free at
a source level only (ie - only the source code is GPL), and should not be included
as part of Linux distributions, unless all the assets can be provided Free. |
