what i am trying to address on this list (the FSDG list), is that these
are separate concerns - to make a statement about scummvm is a webmaster's
concern - to decide if the games, which distros are distributing now, are
acceptable is an FSDG concern

the "reason not to" (to make a statement about scummvm) _yet_, is because we
have yet to address the primary concern of the games licenses - although that is
the only reason why this discussion started

i suggest to move the discussion about a general statement to the webmasters
list, and focus on the license of the games on this list; because that is the
more urgent concern, and has yet to yield an actionable consensus
