    You are right its purebasic.
    Which means only the source is free, the compiler is not.

    And that means it has to move to contrib, no?
    What do I have to do then?

    I think for most players its enough to get a working binary.
    The installation should be easy.
    Means f.e. that the right have to be set.
    (I got a highscores.dat which has to be writeable for the user)

    And that the program finds its files we have to change in its directory. For
    which in my rpm I create a wrapper file. And place this in /usr/games that
    the user can simply type "laby" everywhere.
    And finally I create an Icon on the desktop.

    If its helping I can provide the spec for my rpm.

    Should I still place an email there? or is this only working for Debian main?
