Package: kipi-plugins Version: 0.6.0-1 Severity: severe Justification: presumed non-free license for included library
kipi-plugins contains a copy of the Adobe DNG SDK, which the ftpmasters (specifically, Joerg Jaspert) has deemed to have a problematic license, preventing it from being packaged in main. kipi-plugins includes a copy of the license in COPYING-ADOBE. My discussions with Joerg were partly on IRC (#debian-devel), partly in private via IRC and e-mail. Here is the summary of his concerns: * Does "prepare derivative works from" mean modification? It probably does, but we need to be sure. * What does "other notice" mean in this clause: "You will not remove any copyright or other notice included in the Software"? * The indemnification clause (ยง5) is a problem. Postfix has a similar clause, but it does not affect those that merely distribute the software (e.g., people selling Debian on CD). (The documentation license is clearly non-free, but no documentation is included, so it is not relevant.) Have you received a different answer from ftpmasters about the license? If so, that is great news, since then we can package the DNG SDK separately, for other packages to use. If you can point me at the answer when you close the bug, I am most grateful. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
