It's also completely possible that freeciv may not be a package we can 
ship.


If someone packaged a "free taiwan" game where you protested the PRC and 
wheeled and dealed to get various world gov'ts to officially recognize 
taiwan (an amusing game premise, actually) I think we'd probably have to 
not ship it. Just as if someone packaged a game adaptation of "springtime 
for hitler and germany." (from the producers musical/movie for anyone who 
doesn't get the reference) we'd probably not ship it.
