Yep. Reverse engineering clauses are void in Europe, but as you said
upstream took them verbatim, so this is explicitly prohibited by
Blizzard. So the software is hopefully free, and one component of it
could be used without infringing ToS (Westwood Online).

I am not a legal guru, but this seems to prohibit distribution of the

But Battle.Net has Terms of Service, so they count as a licence. The
question is if they say something about those files

When connecting to battle.net the files are first downloaded and AFTER

I just revisited the bug report and I fully agree with you. The package
really should be in contrib instead and possibly download the files in

Tommorow, i will talk with a pvpgn developer to see if the package is
usable without the support files. If the answer is negative, i will
upload a new version to contrib and request removal from main.
Any suggestions ?
