Package: subversion Version: 1.7.5-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.2.1
Hello, while reviewing subversion/1.7.5-1 debian/copyright file, I noticed that debian/contrib/svn_load_dirs is licensed under the AFL v3.0 . This license includes non-free restrictions and is also problematic with respect to Debian mirror infrastructure. Please take a look at my own analysis [1][2] of the AFL v3.0, which was sent to debian-legal a week ago and received no rebuttal. [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2012/09/msg00081.html [2] https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2012/09/msg00082.html The above mentioned file (debian/contrib/svn_load_dirs) is thus non-free and practically troublesome; it should not be included in a package distributed in Debian (main). Possible solutions I can think of: (A) persuade the copyright holder(s) of debian/contrib/svn_load_dirs to re-license it under DFSG-free terms (such as the Apache License Version 2.0, for instance) (B) replace it with a DFSG-free equivalent, if any exists (C) remove it from the source package I hope this bug can be fixed soon.
