The ebuild has this: LICENSE="CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0" RESTRICT="fetch" # unsure about legality of graphics So, you cannot have your cake and eat it too: - Either LICENSE is correct, then it is freely distributable and shouldn't have any fetch or mirror restriction. - Or, RESTRICT is correct. Then this is a copyright violation which we should not endorse and consequently the package should be removed.
Presumably it's a copyright violation, given the comment in main.lua: STEAL MY SHIT AND I'LL FUCK YOU UP PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING BY MAURICE GUÉGAN AND IF SOMETHING ISN'T BY ME THEN IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS OR NOBODY CARES Also Debian have done an audit, https://wiki.debian.org/Games/Suggested#Mari0: "The graphics are modified from the original Nintendo gfx set. Advise this is not packaged."

(In reply to Tupone Alfredo from comment #2) > I'm not a lawyer but just two lines below writes > > RELEASED AS NON-COMMERCIAL, SHARE ALIKE For reference, here is the full notice: --[[ STEAL MY SHIT AND I'LL FUCK YOU UP PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING BY MAURICE GUÉGAN AND IF SOMETHING ISN'T BY ME THEN IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS OR NOBODY CARES THIS AWESOME PIECE OF CELESTIAL AMBROSIA IS RELEASED AS NON-COMMERCIAL, SHARE ALIKE, WHATEVER. YOU MAY PRINT OUT THIS CODES AND USE IT AS WALLPAPER IN YOUR BATHROOM. FOR SPECIFIC LICENSE (I know you linux users get a hard on when it comes to licenses) SEE http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ NOW GO AWAY (or stay and modify shit. I don't care as long as you stick to the above license.) ]] > and that seems to respect the LICENSE. But unfortunately it is not accurate. A quick glance shows that several of the files in the shaders directory are licensed under GPL-2+ which is incompatible with CC-BY-NC-SA. Some code is MIT licensed, and there also seems to be third-party stuff without any license notice. > Don't know about the graphic. There is the real show-stopper. From the Debian audit: "The graphics are modified from the original Nintendo gfx set." We could ask upstream for clarification where the graphics originates from. (However, I for my part refuse to confer with a person who uses such language as quoted above.)

Package removed.
