Bug#900598: [desmume] Include non free file

Package: desmume
Severity: serious

The following file source files include material under a non-free license from 
Unicode Inc. Therefore, it is not possible to ship this in main or contrib.

src/utils/ConvertUTF.c

This license does not grant any permission to modify the files (thus failing 
DFSG#3). Moreover, the license grant seems to attempt to restrict use to 
"products supporting the Unicode Standard" (thus failing DFSG#6).

In this case a solution is to use libicu and to remove this code by repacking.

If this is a false-positive, please report a bug against Lintian.
