Package: r-cran-truncnorm Version: 1.0-7-1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
The r-cran-truncnorm debian/copyright states the package's license as GPL-2 or later, but the source itself appears to state that the package is GPL-2 only: $ grep License r-cran-truncnorm-1.0-7/DESCRIPTION License: GPL-2 It seems to me that this might also have implications on the allowable license of the rdep r-cran-solnp and its rdep r-cran-fportfolio, both of which are supposedly GPL-2+, but seem incompatible with GPL-3 because of the dependency on the GPL-2-only r-cran-truncnorm. Does requiring an R package from another package count as "linking" from the license point of view? If so, maybe it would be better to ask upstream if they are willing to relicense under GPL-2+? -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages r-cran-truncnorm depends on: ii libc6 2.21-9 ii r-base-core 3.2.3-6 r-cran-truncnorm recommends no packages. r-cran-truncnorm suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
