Freeware != public domain. [A]. Also [1] seems not authorative over the authors copyright. It seems is just to be a fan site. [2] has no information about copyright / licenses, so it "all rights reservered using this resource" [A] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeware > [1] https://www.cavestory.org/game-info/about-cave-story.php > [2] https://studiopixel.sakura.ne.jp/archives/index.html > > Game data is being distributed by the developer from 2004 to the present and > identified as being free from known restrictions under copyright law, including > all related rights and neighbors.[3].

Copyright is a severe thing. You can bring Debian into severe legal problems. Remove at least the game data from mentors and Debian infrastructure ASAP until copyright is settled. Please read the original bug report again, we had all this issues already and it feels bad that you did not adress them and, frankly, it feels like you're ignoring suggestions/remarks people made and trying to brute-force cavestory-nx into Debian. I hope that my feeling is wrtong, because: That won't work.
