Package: systemimager Version: 3.4.1-1 Severity: minor The copyright file, states, in part:
| e2fsprogs was downloaded from http://download.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs/ | and is available under the terms of the GNU General Public License with | the following exception: | | If the version string in the file version.h contains the | string "pre-", or "WIP" then this package must be distributed | in source form only. You can give a copy of the binary for | e2fsck to help a friend recover his or her filesystem, as the | need arises. However, "pre" or "WIP" indicates that this | release is under development, and available for ALPHA testing. | So for your protection as much as mine, I'd rather not have it | appear in a some distribution --- especially not a CD-ROM | distribution! Comparing with e2fsprogs Debian package copyright file, it seems that this is a *request*, rather than a legally-binding *requirement*. And that's a relief, since otherwise it would be an additional restriction with respect to the GPL... Please rephrase the copyright file in order to make it clear that this is only a request, and not an exception to the GPL. You could just copy and paste the relevant part of e2fsprogs deb copyright: [Theodore Ts'o speaking] | However, I request that if the version string in the file version.h | contains the string "pre-", or "WIP" that this version of e2fsprogs be | distributed in source form only.
