Bug#126317: ITP: robotournament -- Game where players program their robots against each other

This is the first I heard of copyright problems. Did upstream get a
nastygram from some company about it?
Unless they took graphics from RoboWar (is that the original game?) or
something, I don't see why they'd have a copyright problem. I suppose it
could be a patented game concept; I know that can happen.

Ok, I'll consider it. Maybe you should retitle this to an RFP in the
meantime..
Thanks,
