Package: prboom
Version: 2:2.4.6-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.1

It has been brought bto my attention that prboom's
prboom.wad contains sprites taken from the commercial ID
software game Wolfenstein 3D (the dog sprites, DOGS*) and
resources derived from copyright material taken from the
commercial ID software game Doom or Doom 2 (many of the M_*
graphic resources which describe menu entries are based on
the typeface used in the commercial graphics).

I intend to fix this problem within the next few days by
substituting in resources taken from Freedoom.
