Package: moodle Version: 1.6.3-2 Severity: serious Hello,
While taking a look at what moodle is shipping under /usr/share/moodle/lib/ I noticed that the file html2text.php doesn't say much about its licence other than a reference to upstream's website. And from there (just quoting the most obvious ones)[1]: > You should not attempt to prevent others from copying the scripts from your > site. However, if you want to include the scripts in any script archives > for downloading (such as ScriptSearch or JavaScript Kit), online or > downloadable web templates (such as the SharePoint templates), or in > bundled or distributed scripts/software (such as Opera or Dashboard > widgets, or the Formativ Academic Timetable), you should contact me first > and obtain my express written permission. > You should check my scripts archive and 'What's new?' pages periodically to > see if the script has been updated. More commonly updated scripts will also > include version numbers in the .js header file(s). Updates are usually to > provide extra functionality, or to increase browser compatibility, as well > as the occasional bug fix. If you would like to be automatically kept up to > date with script updates, subscribe to my RSS feed. All important script > updates will be mentioned on there. > — Commercial/profit-making public websites > — Corporate internal websites IOW: at first glance, it violates points 1, 5, and 6 of the DFSG. When searching for other copies in the archive of the same file I found roundcube-core shipping a file called html2text.php[2] which includes html2text.inc which is released under the v2 of the GPL. Haven't checked, but it might be a candidate to replace moodle's.
