Bug#884740: RFS: pokemmo/1.4.2-1 [ITP] -- Multiplayer online game based on the Pokemon universe



Hi Tobias,

Let's go to the answers:

I apologize for the confusion in the description of the license added in the files.

We made changes to the license context in the contained files, especially in the main script[1].

Removed file in 'src/pokemo_bootstrapper.jar' and line removed mentioning this file in
'd/copyright'.

It was discussed with the developers of the game where changes were made to the main script
(src/pokemmo.sh) of the program respecting the GPL license.
