Package: freewheeling
Version: 0.5.5-1
Severity: serious

Hello,

I am currently checking which packages will break since libgnutls-extra
and libgnutls-openssl switches from GPLv2+ to GPLv3+. freewheeling
links against one of these libraries but its license is unclear:

* debian/copyright says: "You are free to distribute this software
  under the terms of the GNU General Public License." This fails to
  say which versions of GPL are acceptable.

* Upstream sourcecode is not properly licensed. None of the sourcefiles
  contain a license statement. The only single evidence that the
  software should be GPL(?) is that a file COPYING, consisting of a
  copy of the GPL is included.

Please ask upstream to
a) clarify the license (GPLv2, GPLv2+, ...)
b) properly license he software, adding a license
statement to every sourcefile
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html

Thanks, cu andreas
