Note that the GNU FSDG are more liberal than Debian’s guidelines when it
comes to “non-functional data” such as game artwork:
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html
That said, the “NC” bit can probably cause practical problems, such as
if someone sells a GuixSD DVD, or if a company runs ‘guix publish’ and
happens to redistribute the thing.
Regardless, thanks for your work, Adam!
