I would like to know how SuSE, RedHat and other handle this issue.
Maybe they go the "Microsoft" way and say that it's just a distribution
with games as add-on. In general Debian doesn't have this problem
cause Debian is not distributed on media by the Debian project itself.
In our case this problem only is handed over to the distributors.
