After reading the license, I believe as well that we're good to
redistribute it.

However, this part may apply:

- Altered source/binary versions must be plainly marked as such, and
must not be misrepresented as being the original software.

Once there is a patch, the software is altered. Maybe a single sentence
in the README about this would cover it.

"This version of VVVVVV has been changed to run on OpenBSD."

Best regards,
Stefan
