It worked in Debian. ;)
Basically they did not package the original game files. I think they
are even not included in the upstream project. They just state: "Do
you have a file of the original game?" If yes, you can copy it
somewhere and the game will use it. That's all fine from a legal
point of view.
From a *Fedora* point of view, the longstanding policy is that we don't
package software which *requires* non-redistributable bits:

(Game engines which are open source and which work with redistributable
but non-free content are a different special case.)
If this game works with a redistributable content set and is free of
other problems, that's a different story.
