Package: dosbox
Version: 0.72-1.1
Severity: serious

it seems the file src/hardware/fmopl.c is based on the same file from
MAME project, however MAME is released under a non-free license[1],
and it turned out the author of fmopl.c refused to dual-license the
file under GPL[2]. Using such file in DOSBOX may render the binary
non-distributable due to license violation and lack of a waiver in
other parts of the code.

a possible fix may be use a earlier version of fmopl.c which the
original author agreed to release under GPL instead.
