Package: games-thumbnails Version: 20080522 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.1
Hi, I'm sorry for the unpleasantness of this bug report :( I don't think you can apply the BSD license to the screenshots for all games. I think there is a compelling argument that a thumbnailed screenshot is a derivative work, and in some cases, the BSD license is not appropriate. For example: /usr/share/games/thumbnails/sauerbraten.png could be a "derivative" of sauerbraten in contrib, or sauerbraten-data in non-free, neither of which are BSD. I think the best way forward might be to split the games-thumbnails package up into games-thumbnails and games-thumbnails-nonfree. Sauerbraten would be an example of a screenshot to go into the latter package. For stuff in the former, specific licenses per screenshot may be necessary (e.g. a screenshot of GPL material is GPL rather than BSD) What do you think? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- no debconf information -- Jon Dowland ISS UNIX Team -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
