There is a game package "paintown" [1]; pushed to stable F28, currently in 
updates-testing for F27 [2]. I installed the game from updates-testing and 
noticed that the game seems to use copyrighted assets - it features characters 
from franchises such as Street Fighter, Marvel comics, and Dragon Ball. While 
I'm not 100% certain if the assets themselves are copyrighted - it's possible 
they are not ripped from other games, but rather fan-made spritesheets - I'm 
pretty sure that the use of the characters themselves constitutes as 
infringement. As such, I think the package should be pulled before it causes us 
any legal troubles.
