Tyrian 2 was released as freeware, but not open source. The code was "licensed" to the opentyrian team.
The content of Tyrian 2 is freeware of some sort, but the license from it isn't clarified and that's what we're wondering about.
Tyrian 2000 content isn't free. (It's an additional campaign.)

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

Did you start from the previous port's source or the latest upstream? The sound works but is distorted, and there's a mouse cursor on the screen that flashes. If i tap the screen, it crashes. Had neither of these problems in the upstream source build, FYI.

Other than that it seems good. The accelerometer control is not to my liking but it's cool. Also, maybe a separate data package?

Best I could find about data file status is in this thread http://tyrian2k.proboards.com/index....ead=103&page=1 and in this blog post http://lostgarden.com/2007/04/free-g...ships-and.html .Or just make it look for them from MyDocs if you aren't allowed to share them.
How I see things is that there isn't any explicit license (other than freeware). People in the thread don't think that data files are freely (as in debian free) redistributable except for the graphics files.

From the lead OpenTyrian dev on IRC:
<Mindless`> Flandry: the official "it's freeware" message is here --> http://www.freewebs.com/worldtreegames/
<Mindless`> Jason never got around to putting up a non-2000 version on that site
<Mindless`> but he gave us the Tyrian 2.1 source code to port because he didn't have a copy of the 2000 source (probably gone when his house burned)
<Mindless`> Jason has no problem with 2.1 (and probably older versions) being freeware
<Mindless`> but he doesn't want to give away his right to/ownership of the game entirely, so it'll probably never be Debian-free
<Flandry> oh
<Flandry> so no packaged data :/
<Flandry> ok, thanks
<Mindless`> technically the freeware license is "play it all you want and share it with friends"

So if we conclude, that means it will never appear as an app in the catalog for the N900?

AFAIK it can be hosted in "non-free" section, just fine.
Ukki has added nice accelerometer support, but sound is problematic atm. If anyone is working on it, please contact him to avoid duplicate work.
