Package: soundconverter Version: 2.1.3-1 Severity: important Hi,
while preparing my packaging of Tails' OpenPGP Applet (ITP #756404), it was pointed to me that there were issues on images files shipped with it : they where licensed using CC-BY-SA 2.0, which is not DFSG-compliant. They seemed indeed derived from icons using an old tango theme, which were indeed licensed CC-BY-SA 2.0 at the time. I saw that on my Sid system, several packages have the same issue : ~$ rgrep -rl 'by-sa/2\.0' /usr/share/icons/*/scalable |xargs dlocate --package-only gitg network-manager-gnome soundconverter thunar-volman xfburn xfce4-battery-plugin xfce4-fsguard-plugin xfce4-power-manager-data There may be more, since it only reports the packages I have installed. It doesn't seem to be dual-licensing, judging from the content of the svg files involved. So, I asked on debian-devel but received very few responses, mostly inconclusives or saying we should allow CC-BY-SA 2.0 in debian [1] [2] This is not an issue in the package I work on anymore, since I could remake the icons and include them upstream. However, I think it's best to track this issue and maybe clarify once and for all what to do with CC-BY-SA 2.0 images. Currently, I see the following options : - convincing upstream to relicense the files using a later (>= 3.0) version of the license, which, as I found out, can be difficult - removing or replacing the files - decide that CC-BY-SA 2.0 is OK after all.
