There should be no user visible use of the word "Catan" in either the package
summary / description, nor in the game itself and accompanying documentation,
thats what the sanitize patch is for

Although I just realize I might have missed the .desktop files, I'll check those
when I find some time.

Good luck to them with that, there have been several lawsuits based on game
mechanics / concepts in the US and all were lost, see:

But I can fully understand if you do not want to make this assessment, let me
know, then I'll ask Spot to ok this (or not).
