   @PurpCat @RK7 The FSF has openly stated that art and level assets don't matter as long as the code is libre.

     @xianc78 @PurpCat @RK7 I am glad they've acknowledged the code-only situation that many formerly proprietary games are under (Doom, Quake, etc), but I imagine that someone will still complain about it because it limits the sharing aspect.

     Personally I believe the assets should be liberated too in most cases, but I can understand why that may not be a good idea especially if you are borrowing some media i.e. you have licensed music in your game, or if you want to incentivize people to buy a legit copy to use their free source port.

     @bonkmaykr @PurpCat @RK7 Well there is the issue of proprietary data containing scripts for things like enemy behavior and cutscenes.
