Hi! This package needs a thorough license check of probably every single data file. It then needs to be sent upstream to replace or remove these files, or create a DFSG repackaged tarball.
It is not enough to fix only the files I reported originally.

Well, the data in childsplay is finite so it is just a matter of time to verify everything. Debian's take on copyright is very serious, everything should be accounted for, to the point. It seems that you don't care about software being free, just copying whatever comes around. Is that the case? If it is difficult to verify that the data content you include is free, then create new original data and release it under a free license. > > Either remove the data, or, better, replace it with free images and > > samples. Childsplay is marked for autoremoval from testing on october fifth, if this bug is not resolved. [1] In a larger perspective, Savannah seems to require that the project can be licensed under a free software license. [2] I don't see how this project complies with that at all.
