Is WTFPL in Debian? Given the unclear legal nature of that license I'd be surprised. Frankly, I'm fine either way. People seem to have assumed from my reply I'm strongly against this Weboob being in Debian. I'm not. I don't really care, but I recognize why an organization might want to distance itself from that kind of humor. I just really, really, hate bullshit arguments. And claiming that the "boob" association is accidental like the parent is 100% that.

Yes, there are a few packages but if you want specific here is a link: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libcaca0 https://packages.debian.org/stretch/libcaca0 A funny side note: Sam Hocevar, Debian's former project leader, wrote version 2 of WTFPL.. But you are right that it is not accidental association. I attribute the humor to be intentional and very similar to that of the WTFPL authors. Something that might be a accidental association is a pattern I noticed in the debian mailing list. For some peculiar reason, the vast majority of those in favor of removing the package are from the UK and US, while those against it are from east Europe and France. I guess diversity of culture is not high on the agenda of the diversity team.
