Package: faad2 Version: 2.5-1 Severity: grave Hi, currently debian/copyright mentions that the package is licensed under plain GPL. This is apparently wrong as for example src/cfft.h state (other files too): [... GPL boilerplate ...] ** Software using this code must display the following message visibly in or ** on each copy of the software: ** "FAAD2 AAC/HE-AAC/HE-AACv2/DRM decoder (c) Nero AG, www.nero.com" ** in, for example, the about-box or help/startup screen.
This is an additional restriction over the GPL that makes this code IMHO GPL incompatible and as thus linking to the library might be a bit funny licensing-wise. Please correct this in debian/copyright... It would probably have been better to package the older 2.0 version or some CVS snapshot before this ugly paragraph was added to the license as for example the gstreamer plugin using this library is unable to fullfil the license requirements... Second problem I see is that the copyright holder is not mentioned in debian/copyright. Please add this. Should probably be "Copyright (C) 2003-2005 M. Bakker, Nero AG, http://www.nero.com"; Bye
