Bug#558322: Additional information on seahaven towers
I have a few open points to check on:
- the license: sounds DFSG free, but not 100% sure; Freshmeat and
Sourceforge show it as being GPL, but neither the copyright notice in
the README nor the files themselves show GPL anywhere
- the images: copyrights on them from an old spider game... might need
to be replaced?
- upstream author: the two listed for the copyright below wrote it an
eternity ago, http://freshmeat.net/projects/seahaven and sourceforge
project page are owned by bill spitzak, I need to contact them. A few
others have modified parts of the code to improve it.
