Minecraft is commercial software by Markus Persson/Mojang AB, and while there is an old freely playable version I do not know if he has declared it to be public domain.<br>
<br>The author has declared intent to release the final source code to Minecraft eventually ( <a href="http://www.minecraft.net/about.jsp">http://www.minecraft.net/about.jsp</a> - last paragraph ) but at this time that is not the case.<br>
<br>In general <a href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org">activities.sugarlabs.org</a> probably should show the license of each entry, and needs a bit of a housecleaning to make sure all the entries are well described. I've been told in the past that the activities server only is allowed to host items which are covered under one of Fedora's "good" license list ( <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Good_Licenses">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Good_Licenses</a> ), but if this is official policy then Scratch & a few other things probably need to get removed as well.<br>
