Bug#449475: src/cmd/collide/prapid.* cannot be distributed

[Vincent Fourmond]

Package: vegastrike
Version: 0.4.3.debian-1
Severity: serious

  Hello,

  After looking up copyright notices in the various files in the
vegastrike tarball, it appeared that the files
src/cmd/collide/prapid.h and src/cmd/collide/prapid.cpp cannot be
distributed.

  Indeed, the code is said to be Copyright (C) 1998 by Jorrit
Tyberghein and licensed under the GPL, but it is said to be based on
an implementation originally Copyright 1995 The University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, and whose license only permits
modification/distribution and so on 'for educational, research and
non-profit purposes'. This is, to my knowledge, incompatible with the
GPL. So these files cannot be distributed.

  Regards,

	Vincent
