Package: enigma Version: 0.81.1-2 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.3
Policy says: Packages whose copyright permission notices (or patent problems) do not even allow redistribution of binaries only, and where no special permission has been obtained, must not be placed on the Debian FTP site and its mirrors at all. Note that under international copyright law (this applies in the United States, too), no distribution or modification of a work is allowed without an explicit notice saying so. Therefore a program without a copyright notice is copyrighted and you may not do anything to it without risking being sued! Likewise if a program has a copyright notice but no statement saying what is permitted then nothing is permitted. Now look at menu.s3m in /usr/share/games/enigma/sound. If you play it (e.g, with mikmod), then you'll see the copyright: 1 Pentagonal Dreams 2 3 by Necros / FM / LD 4 5 6 Music (C) 1995 Necros / FM 7 8 All rights reserved. 9 10 Contact: 11 [EMAIL PROTECTED] I looked at copyright, copyright.enigma-data, README and README.Debian but could not find any traces regarding this file nor a mention of "Necros". I also went to the web page you mention: http://www.nongnu.org/enigma/authors.html and again, no trace of this name. So clearly, we are not allowed to distribute this file (or if you forgot to include the copyright-message, then this needs to be added ASAP). Btw. I love enigma and I hope this is a simple oversight somewhere! -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.deb-7-grsec Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages enigma depends on: ii enigma-data 0.81.1-2 Data file for the game enigma ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-13 GCC support library ii liblua40 4.0-13 Main interpreter library for the L ii liblualib40 4.0-13 Extension library for the Lua 4.0 ii libsdl-image1 1.2.4-1 image loading library for Simple D ii libsdl-mixer1 1.2.6-1 mixer library for Simple DirectMed ii libsdl1.2debi 1.2.7+1.2.8cvs20041007-4.1 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtolua0 4.0a-3 Tool to integrate C/C++ code with ii libzipios++0c 0.1.5.9+cvs.2004.02.07-3 a small C++ library for reading zi ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4.sarge.2 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- Dr. Helge Kreutzmann, Dipl.-Phys.
