Package: intltool
Version: 0.37.0-1
Severity: serious
The file Makefile.in.in has the following header:
# This file file be copied and used freely without restrictions. It can
# be used in projects which are not available under the GNU Public License
# but which still want to provide support for the GNU gettext functionality.
# Please note that the actual code is *not* freely available.
#
# - Modified by Owen Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to use GETTEXT_PACKAGE
# instead of PACKAGE and to look for po2tbl in ./ not in intl/
#
# - Modified by jacob berkman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to install
# Makefile.in.in and po2tbl.sed.in for use with glib-gettextize
#
# - Modified by Rodney Dawes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for use with intltool
Which makes it DFSG non-free. The bug is even worse if you take into
account that this file is part of the bootstrap of many programs in the
GTK+ world, so the problem is quite widespread among GNOME source
packages in Debian.
This file originates from GNU gettext, but has changed quite a bit since
the fork, and it may not be trivial to rediff. The newer gettext do ship
Makefile.in with the following header, which would be OK, though:
