Package: src:frei0r Version: 1.1.22git20091109-1 Severity: wishlist User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu maverick
Ubuntu is currently shipping a repacked version of frei0r [0], because some files are released under LGPL, rather than GPL. $ licensecheck -r . | grep LGPL ./src/generator/nois0r/nois0r.cpp: LGPL (v2.1 or later) (with incorrect FSF address) ./src/generator/lissajous0r/lissajous0r.cpp: LGPL (v2.1 or later) (with incorrect FSF address) ./src/generator/ising0r/ising0r.c: LGPL (v2.1 or later) (with incorrect FSF address) ./src/generator/onecol0r/onecol0r.cpp: LGPL (v2.1 or later) (with incorrect FSF address) While this is legal, as LGPL is GPL-compatible, it is not accurate. Ubuntu's solution is to add a COPYING.LIB file to a +dfsg orig.tar.gz and modify debian/copyright appropriately.
