Source: flight-of-the-amazon-queen
Version: 1.0.0-1
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
Justification: Policy 2.1.1, 2.1.6
The license conditions from the copyright holders restrict
distributing the work for a fee:
2) You may charge a reasonable copying fee for this archive […]
It is unclear what the copyright holders would consider a “reasonable
fee”; regardless what that limit would be, it is a restriction on the
fee that may be charged for redistribution.
3) You may not charge a fee for the game itself. This includes
reselling the game as an individual item.
Restrictions on charging a fee for the work violate DFSG §6 and
arguably §1.
Works in Debian may not be encumbered by such restrictions, according
to DFSG §1 and §6.

Ben, I would kindly ask you to do a proper research before you file
these kind of bugs. FOTAQ has been around for more than a decade after all.
This license is fully DFSG-compliant and the FTP masters even helped
upstream creating it. The sole reason why FOTAQ has been packaged for
Debian was to ship ScummVM in main. You can find bug reports from 2003
and before which will explain all this to you in more detail. For
instance see the comment from James "Ender" Brown, ex-lead developer of
ScummVM
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=478898#15
This license was also discussed on debian-legal.
