Package: bumprace-data
Version: 1.5.1-1
Severity: serious

The in-game help for bumprace includes credits for the various
components; one of them is "Backgrounds: Unknown (see AUTHORS)".  From
the AUTHORS file:

> Backgounds grabbed from the "eterm-backgrounds_1.0-1.deb" the authors say 
> about
> it:
> "NONE of these images are original work by either of the Eterm authors; they
> have all been collected from various sites on the web.  As far as I know, they
> are all freely available for use.
> 
> However, should any person who can provide proof of ownership of any of these
> pictures object to their inclusion, they will be IMMEDIATELY withdrawn.  No
> copyright infringement is intended.  Inclusion here should be taken as a
> compliment. :-)"

The eterm-backgrounds package referred to here has not existed since slink.

The actual background used in the package comes from
digitalblasphemy.com, with a watermark containing that URL in the
lower-right corner of the image.  The digitalblasphemy backgrounds are
nowhere near free enough even for non-free; see
<http://www.digitalblasphemy.com/webmasters.shtml> for the details, but
basically only personal use is permitted without permission from the author.

The background depicts an earth-like planet with two moons and a
partially-eclipsed surface.  It should be possible to get a similar
image via celestia or xplanet.
