Licensing issues

[limburgher]

Not sure who to contact, so I'll start here.

I'm a Fedora contributor looking to package vdrift for Fedora. During the review process my attention was brought to the following Debian bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=420965
After following the link in that report, I reviewed the data packages, and it looks like the licensing for many of the cars and tracks is in dispute. Some originate with EA, some with other third parties. Under what licenses may these be distributed? If these are licensed, the license info needs to be included with the distribution. If not, then you may have other problems. It might behoove you to get specifics from the upstream providers of these data sets.

As it stands, I can make a drastically cut down version with maybe 2 cars and a greatly reduced track list, but you can see why I'd rather not.

Let me know what you find out and what you intend to do, as I'd really like to get this resolved and get vdrift into Fedora, if possible.

Best wishes,
Jon
