pvpgn ITP
Hi!
I recently ITPed pvpgn (#224163) and would like to ensure there's no legal
problem adding it to Debian.
The background:
- pvpgn is a fork of the (dead) bnetd project.
- bnetd was sued by Blizzard on basis of the DMCA, the current legal status
is undetermined
- in Debian, we already have packages of bnetd, maintained by Dennis L. Clark
(CCed).
I think there should be no problem, specialy since pvpgn hasn't recieved any
notice from Blizzard, and they're hosted in Germany where the DMCA doesn't
apply. I'd appreciate advice though. Is it ok for main or should it be
uploaded to non-us?
