Package: libgsl0-dev
Version: 1.8-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1, GR 2006-001
Hi,
The documentation shipped with libgsl [1] is licensed under the GNU Free
Documentation License with invariant sections. This is a conflict with
the DFSG [2], point 3 (Derived Works), and thus must not be shipped in
Debian main. This position has been confirmed in GR 2006-001 [3]. For
further information see Manoj's Draft Debian Position Statement about
the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) [4].
The documentation is a valid candidate for non-free though. For example,
see the gcc-4.3-doc-non-dfsg and gcc-4.3 packages.
Cheers,
Sebastian
