Package: bubbros Version: 1.6.2-1 Severity: serious Tags: upstream Justification: Policy 2.3
Dear Maintainer, this package includes graphics that are clearly copied from Taito's Bubble Bobble. I don't think copycat games such as this one are beneficial to the development of an healthy libre gaming library - gameplay inspired by another game does not violate copyright AFAIK, but bubbros goes too far and has sprites that look very similar to those of the games they are copying. More importantly, I also believe they harm Debian's legal status and reputation. As such, I ask that this package is removed from the Debian repos unless all sprites are replaced with original designs. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE= (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages bubbros depends on: ii dpkg 1.19.7 ii python 2.7.16-1 ii python-pygame 1.9.4.post1+dfsg-3 bubbros recommends no packages. bubbros suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
