Boggle was "believed > to contain source code proprietary to AT&T". Chess is/was GNUware. And a few others were removed when the copyright owners of the board game sent Wallnut Creak a sease-and-desist letter. > My point is that things come and go, and that many games were removed from > -Lite that were in 4.4BSD. I'm not one bit sad to see this hideous 80's-ism > get removed (although I wouldn't have even wasted the effort removing it). We had a long discussion about this a few years ago. It was decided to leave games(6) in the base system. What will be removed next? Either stick to the outcome from the disucssion last time; or do it right and make a 44bsd-games port and then remove all the games not used in 'make world'. A unilateral decission from the one that "lost" the "remove games from /usr/src src" fight doesn't seem right.
