Wall of Shame

This is a list of everything that did not make the list, or made the list and got cut. It is divided into two categories - one is stuff that seems free, but actually has severe nonfree dependencies, while the other is simply not clearly indicated one way or the other.

If you find anything on awesome-gamedev that should be put on the Wall of Shame, please let me know!
