I'm aware of the problem with bnetd. I'm not well-versed in legal stuff but this shouldn't be a showstopper for Debian. We have bnetd already and that isn't a legal problem for us at least untill Blizzard wins the trial, if ever. > [...] Thus we forked PvPGN.

Could you provide me with a link? Note if you provide it, the link will be made public by Debian. If that's a problem, it is acceptable for me if you send me a private mail with instructions on obtaining the sources. > our main > activity goes over the IRC (the last "free" post), etc...
