Hi Swedebugia,

having looked it up online I prefer the WP synopsis:
=
"TetriNET is a console multiplayer online Tetris game for up to six people=
=2E"

There is a gnome version also=2E We should state clearly that t=
his is a
console/text-mode client=2E

What does 'WP' =
mean?

As an aside I=
 did not find a working server anywhere and the homepage of
the project =
is dead=2E There is a possibility to host your own server with
jetrix th=
ough=2E

I played Tetrinet with someone over a server, b=
ut I can't remember what the address was=2E

You can't access the hom=
epage of the project? I can access ht=
tp://tetrinet=2Eor=2Ecz fine=2E Or do you mean it hasn't been updated i=
n ages?

There could=
 be trademark issues with the name/game also see
https://en=2Ewikipedia=2Eorg/wi=
ki/The_Tetris_Company

Regarding the potential trade=
mark issues, both FSF-approved distros Parabola and PureOS have Tetrinet in=
 their repositories[1][2], so I think it would be acceptable to add it to G=
uix=2E And if a copyright claim is made in the future it can always be remo=
ved=2E

[1] Tetrinet in Parabola - https://www=2Eparabola=2Enu/packages/?q=3Dtet=
rinet
[2] Tetrinet in PureOS - https://software=2Epureos=2Enet/search_p=
kg?term=3Dtetrinet

Thanks

Hi
I agree with your = remarks
WP =3D wikipedia

Given that there is no pgp signed tarba= ll or even a checksum on that page, have you asked the maintainer about th= is and verified that you got the code unaltered?
