Bug#813877: alienblaster content is used non-dfsg and legal problematic content.

[Kouta Ikematsu]

Package: alienblaster-data
Severity: serious

Hello.

alienblaster content (not code) is used "Red Cross flag".
This is "Health item" image. (Restore Player's Health)

"Red Cross flag" is non-free, because this image is not freely use. (Violate 
DFSG)
I think that this is misuse, It is violate of law.

law. 

Geneva Conventions is forbids misuse of red cross.
