They have all settled for the Artistic License. I have no moral/ethical problem with this, and would normally encourage controversial material (such as religious and political texts) to enter Debian provided they're free. However, pornography causes significant legal problems in the US, and probably moreso in many other countries. If I give a Debian CD containing this software to a minor, am I distributing pornography? (It sure looks like it, from the pictures.) This is considered a felony in most parts of the US. Given the contributions made by people under 18 and/or 21 to Debian, this seems to cause a major technical and legal problem, regardless of any ethical one. I would ask, for this reason, that the software not be included in Debian main. -- Joe Wreschnig <piman@debian.org>
