Hi Swedebugia,

having looked it up online I prefer the WP synopsis:
"TetriNET is a console multiplayer online Tetris game for up to six people."

There is a gnome version also. We should state clearly that this is a
console/text-mode client.

What does 'WP' mean?

As an aside I did not find a working server anywhere and the homepage of
the project is dead. There is a possibility to host your own server with
jetrix though.

I played Tetrinet with someone over a server, but I can't remember what the address was.

You can't access the homepage of the project? I can access http://tetrinet.or.cz fine. Or do you mean it hasn't been updated in ages?

There could be trademark issues with the name/game also see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tetris_Company

Regarding the potential trademark issues, both FSF-approved distros Parabola and PureOS have Tetrinet in their repositories[1][2], so I think it would be acceptable to add it to Guix. And if a copyright claim is made in the future it can always be removed.

Thanks

suggest you add "game" to the end of yours.

Hi
I agree with your remarks
WP = wikipedia

Given that there is no pgp signed tarball or even a checksum on that page, have you asked the maintainer about this and verified that you got the code unaltered?
