Package: socat
Version: 1.7.1.2-1
Severity: serious
Socat is licensed under the GPLv2, according to the "README" file, not
GPLv2 or later. The debian package is built against libreadline6,
which is under GPLv3 or later. Since GPLv2 and GPLv3 are incompatible,
this is a license violation.
I'd suggest making socat Build-Depend on libreadline5-dev again to
solve this problem. (Which thus unfixes bug 553853; that should be
marked wontfix, since fixing it necessarily involves a license
violation.)
