 Parallel Realities: http://www.parallelrealities.co.uk/projects Is a small group of programmers who make a number of nice, FOSS games. Unfortunately they did not take FOSS licensing into account when picking artwork for their games. Which means that distributions who care about Freedom (Debian, Fedora) cannot include these games. Guus Sliepen (Debian) has started a sf.net project where a modified versions of the Parallel Realities games are hosted, with all non Free resources removed: http://sourceforge.net/projects/blobwars/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/blobandconquer/ And here is a wiki with some more info and lists of the non free resources which have been removed and the status in replacing them: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/blobwars http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/blobandconquer The plan for Tue Aug 17th is to get together with interested people in the hackerspace revspace in The Hague (and hopefully most of the local hackers will join us) and finding Free replacement resources for as many non free resources as possible. Guus Sliepen (Debian) and Hans de Goede (Fedora) will be hacking on this themselves and try to coordinate things. 
 
I'm happy to report that although only 3 people participated the hackfast was a success, here is a writeup about it from Guus:
