Package: libapache-mod-security
Severity: grave
Justification: GPL conflicts with APL and makes binary undistributable
Version: 1.8.7-1

According to http://packages.debian.org/stable/web/libapache2-mod-security
the copyright file contains BSD style license.  However the LICENSE file
clearly contains the GNU GPL license.  This is not only an issue of
consistency.  GNU GPL is known to be incompatible with previous and current
versions of Apache license.

Therefore if this module is a derived work of Apache-licensed code, then the
license conflict prevents it from being distributed (as a binary, at least).
I am afriad that it IS a derived work, given, for example, that its source
files include numerous APL-licensed headers.

Cheers,
