Package: gkrellm Version: 2.2.10-2 Severity: important Hello, debian/copyright says: --------------- All code in the GKrellM distribution which is Copyright Bill Wilson or which references this COPYRIGHT file is licensed under the GPL version 2, please refer to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL. ---------------
Nowadays /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL points to the GPL-3 though. I have also eyed the license statements in the source code: * COPYRIGHT says GPLv2 * Almost all *.c files contain a statement for GPLv2+ (i.e. GPLv2 "or later"). The ones that don't are either public domain or point to COPYRIGHT again. gkrellm links against libgnutls-openssl.so. The new version of this library is GPLv3+, which is incompatible with GPLv2. Could you talk to upstream to clarify the issue, perhaps the software should be GPLv2+. This would make the whole incompability issue go away. thanks, cu andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
