Package: adolc
Version: 2.1.8-2
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
Justification: Policy 2.1
User: gnewsense-dev@nongnu.org
Usertags: gnewsense libreplanet

The source package contains the files vcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_x64.exe.
The following is an excerpt from eula.rtf contained in those CAB archives.

==========
You may not

    * disclose the results of any benchmark tests of the software to any third party without Microsoft's prior written approval;
    * work around any technical limitations in the software;
    * reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except and only to the extent that applicable law expressly permits, despite this limitation;
    * make more copies of the software than specified in this agreement or allowed by applicable law, despite this limitation;
    * publish the software for others to copy;
    * rent, lease or lend the software;
    * transfer the software or this agreement to any third party; or
    * use the software for commercial software hosting services.

3. BACKUP COPY. You may make one backup copy of the software. You may use it only to reinstall the software.
==========

These terms are clearly in violation of DFSG, so I suggest to remove those
exe files (and maybe even the whole windows directory).

Yep, makes sense.  Thanks for your work.

Hmm, shouldn't version 2.1.8+nomsvcrt be safe to keep?
