Package: isync
Version: 1.4.4-3
Severity: important

Hi,

isync (mbsync binary) is GPL-2+ licensed and depends on libsasl2-2, which is licensed under CMU's BSD-4-clause license and covered by the RSA-MD and OpenSSL licenses. All of them have an advertisement clause in place, which is known to be incompatible with GPL. There are several possible solutions to this problem:

1) Build without SASL support. It is optional.

2) Support my request at #996892.

3) Ask upstream to add a license exception for libsasl2-2, similar to the one 
that was required by Debian for OpenSSL
for a long time.

4) Port to gsasl or another compatible SASL implementation.

Thanks for your consideration,
Bastian
