Right, I know this may be the first reject in a while so I'm gonna split this
into two parts, jargon and some rationale, 

BUT... although Autodownloader in principal is still okay, on extra
consideration of the PackagingGuidelines and quick discussions with a couple of
other contributors (including other Games SIG people) I don't feel comfortable
setting the flag to +, in actual fact, per PackageReviewProcess
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageReviewProcess) I'm closing the bug as
WONTFIX and setting fedora-review as -

Just some quick rationale:
* Although the data files can be freely downloaded, they cannot be freely
distributed per the licensees email
* The agreement to allow distribution via his site only was given in 1997, I
believe that Copyright law gives content 50 years before released out of
copyright (and even then there are ways of extending the claim)
* While per the autodownloader review I'm happy with files been placed in the
users directory but it's the fact that the game won't start without the user
agreeing is in my opinion bad

The next stage in my opinion is to take this up with fedora-devel/maintainers or
even fedora-legal, maybe even FESCo in the end.  I'd be happy to review once
again if/when the bug gets reopened.

If it's any consolation, I have fully checked the package and would have
normally been happy to approve, but legal gets in the way.
