also:

=2D-8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[5] The use of the Build Engine for commercial purposes will require an
appropriate license arrangement with me. Contact information is on my
web site.
=2D-8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

for sure that license is non-free, sorry! :-(

...but wait!

http://eduke32.com/ is **pure confusion** about the licensing
information about that piece of software (could someone please tell
them?!?):

=2D-8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
EDuke32 is open source software that is completely free to use for all
non-commercial purposes.
=2D-8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

ehrm: non-commercial open source what?!?!?

and a few sentences after:

=2D-8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
EDuke32 is licensed under the GNU GPL and the BUILD license.
=2D-8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

...mumble mumble: GNU GPL version?

and the very last sentence in homepage tells us:

=2D-8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
BUILD engine technology originally created by Ken Silverman, non-GPL
rendering and engine technology used in EDuke32 available under
BUILDLIC.
=2D-8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

so "BUILD engine" is non-free but EDuke32 is GNU GPL v? licensed?

if so: can you build EDuke32 without "BUILD engine"?

are you willing to make a check for every piece of code (or folder) to
see if it is licensed as GNU GPL and what version?

sorry but it seems a little hard task to liberate that piece of software
:-S

is it worth an unconfused-EDuke32 meta-fork ala ungoogled-chromium? :-)

/me *very* sad to see such confusion... in 2019
