Hi guys,
While doing the license tag cleanup, I came across uqm-content, which was marked "Distributable", but when I dug into it, the actual license is Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike.

The NonCommercial part is the problem.
Unless someone here has documentation showing that the UQM upstream has given us permission to distribute these content files under a different (acceptable to Fedora) license, I'm going to have to block this package in F10.
I looked around and it seems the original authors don't want the game data used commercially. I didn't find anything indicating their stance had changed recently.
Since the game itself is fine, it looks like we'll need to set it up to autodownload the content (and quickly).
It should also get pulled from the live games cd as there is little point in having it there if you need to make a large download to play it.
