It is: I added a comment in the license section: all the data fetched by
the "tdm_update" executable is under CC. tdm_update is the in-house
package manager. It's sad the game data is not versioned, but I don't
see a way around it at the moment.
We have quite a few game engines in our repository that
depend on proprietary game data to be playable. But The Dark Mod is not one
of them.

Hmm... I really liked that I could make the environment variable
customizable, but I guess I'll have to hard-code it in the description then.
Thanks for the review!
