I am not convinced that version 1:2.7.5pre1-7 does not fix all license issues in zangband (see the remark about "Files: debian/*" below). > Markus Koschany made the necessary changes and added himself to the package > maintainers (with consent from the package's maintainer).

Incidentally, zangband does appear to have patches in debian/patches/*. ~Niels [1] Given the upstream license is non-free, I sincerely doubt it is GPL-3+ compatible. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
