Pretty tough statement. I am studying law in Germany myself, and I was not able to come to this conclusion this clearly. As I wrote, the law doesn't demand that they are totally identical, it's enough if they are "im Wesentlichen inhaltsgleich", i.e. they have essentially the same content. This is less clear, that's why I wrote my bug report, and thats why I wrote it with that much "could ... would" etc. I have cc'ed my bug report to debian-legal, let's see what the discussion there shows. > The Debian quake2 package contains only the game engine.

But probably nasty people could argue that for a game, the program is the essential content... And there is a package too that allows easy installation of the game data. All I want to say is: I'm not sure this problem can be dismissed that easily. Michael Below -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
