You can't access the homepage of the project? I can access http://tetrinet.= or.cz fine. Or do you mean it hasn't been updated in ages? > There could be trademark issues with the name/game also see > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tetris_Company Regarding the potential trademark issues, both FSF-approved distros Parabol= a and PureOS have Tetrinet in their repositories[1][2], so I think it would= be acceptable to add it to Guix. And if a copyright claim is made in the f= uture it can always be removed.
