Hi Remi (and others), This is indeed a serious issue, which can make the package impossible to be redistributed by Debian. I'm opening a bug on the Debian BTS (#639833). I'll see if all these files can be removed from the tarball without altering functions. I'm not a lawyer, but AFAICT the QPL is incompatible with the GPL [1] [2] if the files are not distributed under a dual license. To the OCS team: what is the official position about this license issue ?
