We do currently ship the VM screensaver. This: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/03/msg00248.html ...is the result of the most recent query on debian-legal concerning the issue. I took their conclusion that the advertising clause was retroactively rescinded to mean that we could now use vm_random.c with GPL code (particularly since in vm_random.c no one seemed to claim copyright over any modifications to vm_random.c that might have occured since the file was taken). This isn't to say that the situation could be made less ambiguous, by, say, updating vm_random.c. But I think we're in the clear. Note that Debian Sarge did not ship with the VM screensaver; it's only since then that the saver has been re-enabled. The transferring of kdeartwork's maintenance from Ben Burton to the Qt/KDE group occured only after Sarge's release, but even had it occured before, I wouldn't have re-enabled the saver then, just to be safe, since if someone takes issue with my legal reasoning, for the time being we can back out fairly easily.
