License of Stunt Car Racer Remake is not clear at all, looking only at the code. The authors should be contacted and asked for clarification.

I sent a message to Daniel Vernon, one of the current maintainers of Stunt Car Racer Remake, and asked for clarification of the license.

I got a reply from Daniel Vernon

I have removed the 'BSD License' status from the project page as there is currently no license.

This probably means the code never was open source. I adjusted the database entry. I will reply and ask if the author can make the code open source.

I looked again at Hack and it is the 3-clause BSD license.

I removed Stunt Car Racer Remake, because the author didn't reply to my last email where I asked if he could add a suitable license, so I guess it's proprietary. Added to rejected list.
