They can do this no matter what we do. You may recently have heard of a company named "SCO". I personally find hot-babe silly, at best. I can see that some might be offended - people often choose to offended in ways that baffle me. But if you're going to remove every package in Debian that might offend, or might be illegal somewhere, then there are many packages that are more problematic than hot-babe, starting with, as many have already pointed out, bible-kjv. I'm completely serious here: I think the general attitude promoted by the Christian Bible (and other religious texts), that is, promotion of intolerance, irrationality, and the supernatural over science and rational thought, is much more offensive and harmful to society that than a cartoon nipple. I've not previously objected to the inclusion of the Bible because I think that censorship is even worse. But if we, Debian, are going to go down that path, then that would be the first thing on my list.
