Ok I emailed the current maintainer according to that page asking to verify that I got the source code unaltered, and to maybe update the page with that info.

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.

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?
