[Scummvm-devel] Adding links to legal downloads of Amiga AGI games

  Hi all,
I'm suggesting that we'd add links to legal downloads of Amiga AGI games
to our http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php -page by linking to AGI games'
pages at back2roots.org (As they've got the permission to distribute the
Amiga
versions of some of the AGI games).

Here's back2roots's Acceptable Usage Policy -link:
http://www.back2roots.org/About/Project/Policy/

The only possible problem here that I see is under the
http://www.back2roots.org/About/Project/Policy#2
where it reads "Don't link into search results unless you are an official
partner site".
So are the following links I found on backroots.org "search results" or not?
I'd venture they're not as I'm not linking to a page like
http://www.back2roots.org/About/Find/?find=blaablablaa
where 'blaablablaa' is the search string. If we'd link to that then we'd be
in breach of the Acceptable Usage Policy.

So how about it? Eugene and/or Max, do you think adding these links to the
download page would be ok?**
