Package: teckit
Version: 2.5.4~svn140+ds2-1
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
Hello,
According to Lintian, there is a problem with this file, which is
licensed by Unicode:
Tag: license-problem-convert-utf-code
Severity: serious
Certainty: possible
Info: The following file source files include material under a
non-free license from Unicode Inc. Therefore, it is
not possible to ship this in main or contrib.
.
This license does not grant any permission
to modify the files (thus failing DFSG#3). Moreover, the license grant
to attempt to restrict use to "products supporting the Unicode
Standard" (thus failing DFSG#6).
.
In this case a solution is to use libicu and to remove this code
by repacking.
.
If this is a false-positive, please report a bug against Lintian.
Ref: #823100
The bug report referenced (#823100) has more discussion on this
point.
I'm also going to drop a line to the upstream maintainers to see
whether they could write their own replacement for this pair of files,
or liaise with the Unicode Consortium to relicense them.
Best wishes,
Julian
