Bug ID: 42854
           Summary: Please add "GOG" to the License field in AppDB
           Product: WineHQ Apps Database
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: appdb-unknown

Hi folks,

When submitting an application, a user has the ability to select "Steam" as a
license. Would it be possible to implement the same thing for GOG versions of
games?

The reason I ask is that most, if not all, of those games get put under the
"Retail" license even though retail games are usually physical versions of
games rather than digitally distributed games.

Addendum:

With a "GOG" license, users would be able to put the actual in-game version of
a GOG version of a game rather than having to resort to "Version: GOG" or
something of the sort.

This is now fixed. However, the license is not a substitute for listing GOG as
a separate version. GOG versions are not the same as the original versions
(e.g., DRM removed, updated for modern systems) and they should have separate
version entries.

Update: GOG and Steam have now been removed from the licenses list because they
are not licenses. See bug 42970 for the discussion that led to this decision.
