Package: libapache-mod-security Severity: grave Justification: GPL conflicts with APL and makes binary undistributable Version: 1.8.7-1
According to http://packages.debian.org/stable/web/libapache2-mod-security the copyright file contains BSD style license. However the LICENSE file clearly contains the GNU GPL license. This is not only an issue of consistency. GNU GPL is known to be incompatible with previous and current versions of Apache license. Therefore if this module is a derived work of Apache-licensed code, then the license conflict prevents it from being distributed (as a binary, at least). I am afriad that it IS a derived work, given, for example, that its source files include numerous APL-licensed headers. Cheers, Grzegorz B. Prokopski -- Grzegorz B.
