Hi,

I've some problem with licenses. Before debian legal, i send a mail here to 
get your advices :).

I'm working on packagin Cube. The software is provied in 2 archives.

The source one is full licensed under the zlib license. With archive is OK.

The second archive contains the data (textures, sounds, maps). Its contain is 
licensed under differents conditions.

1: no license
2: no commercial use license with some times other restriction against for the 
ability to edit the data
3: free data some under GNU GPL.


The data package can't be easily split, so IMO, this package will just be 
availible in Debian non-free and cube itself in contrib.

I join a list of licenses per directory.

Cheers,

	Gonéri
