I am all for including this in extra-data now that the license will work. But I would like to give a little opportunity for discussion before we included it. If no one has an objection, we will include it in the very next release of extra-data. > I designed an AI game[2] as graduation project.

What work do you think would be required to integrate Rentoy with Aisleriot? Would Aisleriot need to run-time detect the availability of a spanish card deck theme and then and only then make Rentoy and other Spanish card games available? What are you thoughts on how to approach this? (For the purposes of technical discussion, assume that extra-data is where the Spanish card desks would live.) As for the internationalization issues, I can see that conditionally generating help files that include Rentoy could be a difficult task. We should probably think about this problem more...
