Package: supertuxkart-data
Version: 0.9.3-2

The game Supertuxkart does not meet the criteria for inclusion
in the free software Debian repositories, specifically by containing
proprietary data (violating
https://people.debian.org/~bap/dfsg-faq.html#not_just_code).

These include the game characters Beastie and Hexley (mascots of
BSD and Darwin OS), distributed under non-free terms (
http://www.mckusick.com/copyright.html,
https://github.com/PureDarwin/Hexley/blob/master/LICENSE.md) which
allow use only to individuals (not groups) and withing the limits
of "good taste". Furthermore many game assets are used under unknown
terms (search the Debian copyright file for "license: ???").

I think due to these violations of Debian standards the package should
either be removed until the issues are resolved by the developers, or
it should be moved to non-free package repositories.
