commit 15fdeaeb2d4df755811db92cc7c3c7cb19155dec
Author: Tobias Geerinckx-Rice <me@tobias.gr>

    gnu: alex4: Remove non-free package.
    
    Its readme.txt goes out of its way to licence only ‘source code’ under
    the GPL2+, a reading supposedly confirmed by the author:
    
    https://libregamewiki.org/Talk:Alex_the_Allegator_4
    
    However, we don't need to rely on the authenticity of that claim: the
    game data is clearly not licenced, and is required to run the binary.
    Without it, the game segfaults.
    
    * gnu/packages/games.scm (alex4): Remove variable.
    
    Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/65881>.
