Re: RFS: Dolphin Emu: Nintendo Gamecube and Wii emulator



Thanks for taking the initiative and packaging this. I'd love to see it
in Debian in some form.

Vcs-Svn and Vcs-Browser are supposed to point to the VCS repository
containing your packaging, not upstream's source repository.

dolpin-emu's (and -doc's) short description could probably be better
revised as "a Nintendo Gamecube and Wii emulator". In -doc's long
description, settle on Dolphin or dolphin, don't use them interchangeably.

More importantly, I suspect dolpin-emu may not be legally
redistributable by Debian under the GNU GPL, since:

 A) Some files, such as ./Source/Core/VideoCommon/Src/HiresTextures.cpp,
are GPLv2 only, yet others, such as
./Source/Core/wiiuse/Src/wiiuse/Src/* are GPLv3+. Wiiuse is also
available as LGPLv3+, but only for non-commercial purposes.

 B) Your program links against cg, which is non-free. No linking
exception is provided by upstream to allow linking to non-free
applications in the license.

You should get this clarified by upstream before the package would be
accepted.
