Fedora no incluira algunos juegos por cuestiones de patentes

Ahora resulta que Fedora no incluira mas en su distribucion juegos que cunplan con el siguiente criterio:

"... juegos donde los objetivos se muevan en la pantalla hasta un punto determinado o linea, en donde el jugador debera acccionar (presionar) un boton/tecla/click de raton en el momento en el que el objetivo cruce la linea o punto para de esta manera obtener puntos..."

Hi folks,

I hate for my first post to this mailing list to be a depressing one, but I need to pass along some bad news.

Due to patent concerns, we won't be able to include any games in Fedora which meet the following criteria:

A game where "targets" move across the screen to a predetermined point or line, where the player hits a button/key/mouse click as the target(s) crosses that point or line, and gets points.

This means:

No "Guitar Hero" clones. No "Dance Dance Revolution" clones.

I need your help to make sure that we don't have any other games that meet this criteria, either on the wish list or in Fedora.

If you're not sure, ask me.

Thanks in advance,

~spot
