Should pvpgn be moved to multiverse?

Asked by Talvaran Rabidwolf

I was wondering if the package pvpgn should be moved to the Ubuntu multiverse (non-free repo) for a few reasons.

1) In Debian it is in the contrib repo, meaning it has non-free dependencies

2) While being free software itself for the package to be useful the user has to use non-free blizzard software.

3) Because the software emulates Blizzard's battle.net software it is probably at risk for some sort of legal action. The program bnetd was shut down for an alleged DMCA violation (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~owend/free/bnetd.html).

This is totally opinion but I think it might make sense to move it to the multiverse repo.
