Package: openarena-data
Version: 0.7.7-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.1
OpenArena contains characters derived from copyrighted sources without
permission.  Namely, the Doomguy (called Sarge in OpenArena) from id
Software's Doom series and Quake III Arena, and an anime character
which in-game is called Kyonshi (do not know the name of the show,
however I noticed after seeing a clip on YouTube from the show:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv4U8OJMydk ).  Just because the original
materials weren't used, this is still derivation of copyrighted sources
and illegal.
