Package: sim-data
Version: 0.9.4.0+1-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

Lead by the similarity of sim's sounds/icons with the original icq
program by Mirabilis (now AOL), I asked on #sim-ru where are those files
coming from.

Current authors of sim said that they are from previous author (Vladimir
Shutov) and he in turn said that he can't remember where those files
came from.

I am filing this bug to avoid sim's migration to Etch with what appears
to be unlicensed content.

Given the uncertainty of the sounds/icons' origin and the similarity of
the files with ones with known author, but without clear licensing
terms, upstream intents to replace those files with others, which have
clear and compatible licensing terms. Some obvious choices are files
from Gaim, Kopete and Miranda, all licensed under GPLv2-or-later, same
as SIM.


Thanks for taking care of SIM,
dam
