Re: CoC policy for package contents

Shipping gambling software is already forbidden in some jurisdictions
since Debian does not do age verification. At least if the gambling
involves money in some way. Needs further investigation, does Debian
have such a package?
Shipping youtube downloaders has been negatively decided by at least one
court case in one country that I know of, but the verdict is only
enforcable inter partes. Shipping carries significant legal risks though.
Shipping games without age verification is another risk. Has anybody
ever reviewed the games Debian ships under that aspect? I'd help with
such a review, I just don't want to install all those games and waste
time on playing them.
Just to make sure I'm not misunderstood: I do not want to start a
discussion about games removal. I would - if really necessary - propose
a move to a separate section in the archive to facilitate an easy
"parental controls" setup.
The reason for this is that the legitimate goal of protecting minors is
presently used by interested parties as a general legal argument to
remove civil liberties. I want to protect the main part of our archive
from regulatory intervention and to make sure not to feed that argument
if it can be avoided.
