Hi! I (along with affected package maintainers from other Linux distros and *BSD OSes) was notified by Stephen Sweeney of Parallel Realities that their free games (Blob Wars: Metal Blob Solid, Blob Wars: Blob And Conquer, Project: Starfighter and Virus Killer - blobwars, blobandconquer, starfighter and viruskiller ports under games/ respectively) may (and most likely, do) contain content copyrighted by third parties. Seems like we'll have to remove ports to avoid possible problems, but I wonder if it is really necessary - won't RESTRICTED be enough so just the only thing we host/mirror is the port itself? -- Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D amdmi3@amdmi3.ru ..: jabber: amdmi3@jabber.ru http://www.amdmi3.ru
