Package: gdm Version: 2.20.7-4lenny1 Severity: serious Distribution: stable Section: main
Hello, This package includes a modified version of the Debian open logo with "Debian" which the license is not compliant with the Debian policy. The license of the Debian open logo with "Debian" says: "This logo or a modified version may be used by anyone to refer to the Debian project, but does not indicate endorsement by the project." see http://www.debian.org/logos/index.en.html whereas the Debian policy ยง2.1 (aka DFSG) says: "Derived Works The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software." which is not allowed if the derivative work doesn't refer to Debian "No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research." the license above restricts the way anyone would use the logo with "Debian" "License Must Not Be Specific to Debian The rights attached to the program must not depend on the program's being part of a Debian system. If the program is extracted from Debian and used or distributed without Debian but otherwise within the terms of the program's license, all parties to whom the program is redistributed must have the same rights as those that are granted in conjunction with the Debian system." see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html The files concerned is: /usr/share/pixmaps/gdmDebianLogo.xpm Regards Pompee William -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
