It's not uncommon for an upstream to give their code and their art/data assets different licenses. In fact, it's quite common for packages maintained in the Games team, e.g. 0 A.D. imposes a GPL2+ license on their game engine and a CC-BY-SA license on all their artwork, music, and other game assets. There are also a number of games packages where the engine is DFSG-compatible but the game assets are under some non DFSG-compatible license (usually due to a non-commercial usage clause), and thus packaged in Debian by putting the engine in contrib and data in non-free. The upstream Freeplane developers are well within their rights to include non DFSG-compatible artwork if they wish. It just means that we have to strip them out / replace them (c.f. Firefox/Iceweasel), or move the package from main to non-free. Regards, Vincent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
