Bug#706343: drascula: source contains non-free binary code

[Jonas Smedegaard]

Package: drascula
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.1

source consist of a series of PACKET.00x files, and debian/copyright
argues that those are fine because only if GPL-licensed the source need
to be _preferred_ form of source - and this is BSD-licensed.

Problem is not if it is preferred form, but if it is source.

Files really are arj-compressed files, and the content includes *.exe
files containing this string:

> WATCOM C Run-Time system code is provided on an "as is" basis and is
> (c) Copyright by WATCOM International Corp. 1988-1993. All rights
> reserved.

If WATCOM licensed its C Run-Time freely, then as a minimum that
licensing should be documented together with above copyright holder in
debian/copyright file.


One of those ARJ packages also contains DOS4GW.EXE containing this
string:

> DOS/4G  Copyright (C) Rational Systems, Inc. 1987 - 1993

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS/4G that code in non-free.
