As reported on the debian-legal mailing list, https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2020/01/msg00020.html: "... the only major blocker left is the copyright. Lutris uses several icons, which could be not DFSG-compliant, so I wanted to ask for a legal review to clarify what is okay and what needs changes. The icons are located in /share/lutris/icons/hicolor/symbolic/apps. There is a copyright.old file in the directory, which was used until I ported it as good as I could to the /debian/copyright file." The ebuild currently has LICENSE="GPL-3". More license are listed in lutris/debian/copyright in the upstream repo, which is based on information in above-mentioned copyright.old file, or lutris/share/lutris/icons/hicolor/symbolic/apps/README.rst in the lutris-0.5.4 tarball. AFAICS, we already carry most licenses listed in debian/copyright, with the exception of the following: - tux-attribution: "The copyright holder of this file allows anyone to use it for any purpose, provided that the copyright holder is properly attributed. Redistribution, derivative work, commercial use, and all other use is permitted. Attribution: Larry Ewing and GIMP" We don't have that one yet, but it looks like a free license to me. - none-wikipedia: "This image consists only of simple geometric shapes or text. It does not meet the threshold of originality needed for copyright protection, and is therefore in the public domain." This can be mapped to public-domain. - Flaticon: https://profile.flaticon.com/license/free This may be problematic, because it says: "What you CANNOT DO: * Distribute Flaticon's Contents unless it has been expressly authorized by Flaticon."
> - Flaticon: > https://profile.flaticon.com/license/free > This may be problematic, because it says: > "What you CANNOT DO: > * Distribute Flaticon's Contents unless it has been expressly authorized > by Flaticon." Even more problematic is this: "The complete content of licenses can be consulted in the Terms of Use, that will prevail over the content of this document. " The Terms of Use can be found at https://www.freepikcompany.com/legal#nav-flaticon-agreement, and in section 8 they say: "It is forbidden for a User to authorize any third parties to use the Flaticon Content (or any modification of any content in the Flaticon Content). As an exception to the prohibition, the User may allow third parties to use the content in the Flaticon Content, when each and every of the following conditions are met:" ... and in the second condition: "The authorization granted by the User to the third party is in writing and complies with every restriction of the User’s authorization to use the relevant content in the Flaticon Content and includes, without limitation, a restriction for the third party to distribute, resell or license the relevant content in the Flaticon Content (i.e. the third party is the final user of the relevant content in the Flaticon Content);" As I read this, we as a distro would be a third party, but not the final user. So we may not be allowed to redistribute a tarball containing these icons.
This was resolved in =games-util/lutris-0.5.8: https://github.com/lutris/lutris/pull/3035 Icons are no longer distributed with the package and instead downloaded at runtime.

So can this be closed? Since we no longer have <0.5.8 in the tree. > As I read this, we as a distro would be a third party, but not the final user. So we may not be allowed to redistribute a tarball containing these icons. Or do we still need additional RESTRICT="mirror"?
Yes, looks like this has been resolved. Please update LICENSE to what is specified upstream: https://github.com/lutris/lutris/blob/master/debian/copyright Namely, GPL-3+ instead of GPL-3 (plus CC0-1.0 if we install the metainfo file).
