[Slackbuilds-users] SlackBuilds for Humble Bundle games

[King Beowulf]

I don't see it as a show stopper that the admins can't test the
slackbuilds for commercial/proprietary software.  In this case, the
Humble Bundles are DRM and some of the purchase price goes to EFF, for
example. As long as the maintainer stands by his work...

BTW, I was the one who.  brought this up on LQ, just thought is was
worthy of a discussion. I'd like SBo to be a centralized repository
for all 3rd party stuff, not just F/OSS or free-to-use software.
