Most projects start only with engine replacements and don't have a taskforce to provide free/libre "data" replacement. Now, it's true that if it's free/libre software, it might be possible to add it to some free/libre distro. But the challenge is that these projects seem to do little effort to not recommend non-free functional data or non-shareable non-functional data. Such that even the software itself directly tells something along the lines of "this is used to run Some Non Free Game", instead of using a message like "please specify a [insert data pack standard abbreviation here] file", so perhaps it must be patched to remove the first messages? ng0 writes: > Additionally: Do you know if an upstream bug report already exists on > replacing the original data requirements?
