Hi,
visualboyadvance in debian contains a file which lacks commercial distribution
rights [1]. Since this isn't granted by default, we need a new licence or the
file removed (or the package moved into non-free, but that seems a bit
extreme).

This is different to 441978, which was about this licence missing from the
debian/copyright file.

thanks,
kk
