Package: perl Version: 5.10.1-14 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Text::Tabs which is shipped with both upstream perl and the Debian version has this license, (highlight by me):
Copyright (C) 1996-2002,2005,2006 David Muir Sharnoff. Copyright (C) 2005 Aristotle Pagaltzis This module may be modified, used, copied, and redistributed at your own risk. __Publicly redistributed modified versions must use a different name__. It seems that the license forbids any downstream patches without changing the name, so this situation seems very similar to what Debian has with Firefox, where the name has been changed to Iceweasel to work around such a clause. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable'), (700, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36-rc1-Avar-Akbar (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages perl depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-4 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdb4.7 4.7.25-9 Berkeley v4.7 Database Libraries [ ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-9 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii perl-base 5.10.1-14 minimal Perl system ii perl-modules 5.10.1-14 Core Perl modules ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages perl recommends: ii make 3.81-8 An utility for Directing compilati ii netbase 4.42 Basic TCP/IP networking system Versions of packages perl suggests: pn libterm-readline-gnu-perl | l <none> (no description available) ii perl-doc 5.10.1-14 Perl documentation -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
