Licensing issues

[alex25]

Further investigation at the Racer site led me to the part where they talk about how the project may not be used commercially. This restriction is incompatible with Fedora inclusion, thus eliminating any Racer tracks or cars.

racer itself might not be used commercially, but this doesn't mean that individual tracks can't be released by their original authors under gpl. so find the original track authors, convince them to release the track under the gpl and then it can be converted. so if you guys want to actually be useful, go and get the original authors to release their tracks under the gpl and i will convert the track to vdrift. this applies to tracks for any of these games: gpl (grand prix legends), gtr, gtl, rFactor, racer, gp4 (if i can figure out how to convert vrml97 to something blender understands).

if instead you would just rather remove tracks from vdrift because they don't pass some purity test then you might consider joining debian, you'll find plenty of kindred spirits over there.
