Package: umbrello
Version: 4:3.3.2-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1

Hi!
As its copyright file states, Umbrello includes Cervisia which is released 
under the QPL license with no additional permissions and a choice of venue
in Oslo.
As it is now, Cervisia does not comply with the DFSG.

Cervisia upstream authors should be contacted and a license change should
be asked: possible solutions are

a) upstream relicenses Cervisia in a DFSG-free manner (choosing for instance
   the GNU GPL, or a non-copyleft free license such as the 2-clause BSD)
b) upstream dual licenses Cervisia under QPL/GPL (just like Trolltech
   did with QT[1])
c) upstream adds a special exception and drops the choice of venue, leaving
   only the choice of law (as OCaml authors did with their compiler[2])
