Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi,
I would like to request the removal of the "libjs-jquery-dotdotdot" package from unstable. Even though the official maintainer is listed as the "Debian Javascript Maintainers", I was the person responsible for packaging the software and have been monitoring it since it was accepted. The reason I am asking for the removal is because upstream has decided to change the license of the software from Expat to CC-BY-NC-4.0, which is non-free according to the DFSG. With this change, I do not intend to maintain this package anymore, and it is also not possible to upgrade it due to the license change (please note that the current version shipped by Debian is still free). There are no reverse dependencies to this software at the moment, which makes it a good time to remove it from the archives. I had packaged this software because it is a dependency for pagure, another package that I am working on. In the interest of removing non-free dependencies from a Free Software project, I have also filed a bug against upstream pagure asking the project to stop using the "dotdotdot" library: https://pagure.io/pagure/issue/2844 Thank you in advance. -- Sergio GPG key ID: 237A 54B1 0287 28BF 00EF 31F4 D0EB 7628 65FC 5E36 Please send encrypted e-mail if possible http://sergiodj.net/
