What does 'WP' mean?

I played Tetrinet with someone over a server, but I can't remember what the address was.
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?

Regarding the potential trademark 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 Guix. And if a copyright claim is made in the future it can always be removed.
[1] Tetrinet in Parabola - https://www.parabola.nu/packages/?q=tetrinet
[2] Tetrinet in PureOS - https://software.pureos.net/search_pkg?term=tetrinet
Thanks
