Package: ftp.debian.org,r-cran-afex Version: 0.14-2-1 Severity: serious Tags: upstream Justification: Policy 2.3
Dear Maintainer, I believe the r-cran-afex package violates the GPL. It is released under GPL3+, however it has GPL2-only dependencies (r-cran-stringr, r-cran-coin, r-crain-lsmeans), and it calls functions from these packages directly. The nature of the interaction (function calls) means that r-cran-afex and its dependencies constitute a single work, and not two separate programs, as per the GPL faq: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#MereAggregation https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#IfInterpreterIsGPL Versions of packages r-cran-afex depends on: ii r-base 3.2.2-1 ii r-base-core [r-api-3] 3.2.2-1 ii r-cran-car 2.1-0-1 ii r-cran-coin 1.1-0-1 ii r-cran-lme4 1.1-9-1 ii r-cran-lsmeans 2.20-1 ii r-cran-matrix 1.2-2-1 ii r-cran-pbkrtest 0.4-2-1 ii r-cran-reshape2 1.4-1 ii r-cran-stringr 0.6.2-2 r-cran-afex recommends no packages. r-cran-afex suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
