Yes, if a package is illegal in a jurisdiction we care about (this does not necessarily include the whole world), it needs to be removed. Full stop. There is no compromise possible on that. I'm not discussing morals here. I'm discussing law.
That being said I have not downloaded and checked any fortune package myself because messages in this thread described content that is illegal in my jurisdiction. Nothing said in this thread convinced me otherwise.
