Bug#934975: etw: Borderline copyright violation in team selection graphics

[Fabio Pesari]

Package: etw
Version: 3.6+svn162-5
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
Justification: Policy 2.3

Dear Maintainer,

Eat the Whistle has some graphics that are clearly ripped off existing
copyrighted works.

To list some, the splash screen is "inspired" by the packaging of a snack by
Kinder and the characters in the team selection screen are clearly "inspired",
if not completely ripped off, the following media: Wolverine from the X-Men,
Kenshiro from Hokuto no Ken, Muttley from Wacky Races, Seiya from Saint Seiya.
Plus, two designs are strongly inspired by The Simpsons and Captain Tsubasa,
and I couldn't identify the other characters but it's likely that they too are
"inspired" by those media.

I believe etw harms Debian's legal status and reputation, and as such I ask for
its removal from the official repos unless those graphics are replaced with
properly licensed ones.
