Package: ethereal
Version: 0.10.13-1.2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.3

The latest ethereal NMU is linked against OpenSSL which is not legal.
Ethereal is licensed under the GPL while the OpenSSL license has an advertising
clause that renders it incompatible with the GPL.

Ethereal must be rebuilt to avoid doing this (I think to avoid this; you
have to disable SNMP support since the SNMP library is what is bringing
in OpenSSL's libcrypto.so).

Note that this happened once in the past (version 0.10.3-1.0.1), and they added
a Build-Conflicts against libsnmp5-dev to keep it from reoccuring.  I think the
problems could be solved by adding another Build-Conflicts against
libsnmp9-dev and rebuilding.
