#304 ENDOOM lump out of date
The ENDOOM lump for doom legacy is from pre-GPL
releases. Namely:
"Doom Legacy add-on is freeware and should not be sold."
This is a contradiction to the GPL and perhaps should
instead be re-written as (for example)
"Doom Legacy is available for free and licenced under
the GPL. Please see <file> for details."
I know its courtesy to provide a fix where possible
with a bug and I would do so in normal circumstances,
but unfortunately I do not have an ENDOOM-lump editing
tool (or indeed wad editing tools) to hand, sorry!

you are right, we should rewrite it. it should be done for
our next stable release.

I tried 1.42 and the message still appears. Do you think it
would be possible to fix this, since it seems (to me as an
outsider) rather easy and would solve a blocker bug for
Debian. Thanks.

Hi - the ENDOOM bug in debian (#216375) is not a blocker.
Rather, "#264816: doomlegacy-sdl: combines incompatible,
non-dfsg licences" is. As such, this bug (in sf.net) is a
bit of an interesting one. The ENDOOM lump is out-of-date
but GPL is not an accurate description of legacy's licence
situation either.
For the record, I am still working on getting the raven
source relicenced which I think is the only viable way to
make legacy legitimate from a licencing POV and until that
happens it isn't going to stay in debian.

I noticed that later too, but thanks for pointing it out. It
would still be good if it's fixed though.
