Hi! Thanks for the report. I'm the upstream author & maintainer of libidn. We want the manual to be included in Debian, so we have re-licensed it without the invariant section, see commit in:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=libidn.git;a=commitdiff;h=902ad6665b8ab7c3cb1b89ff47d9f6e3007154ef Right now I can't make a new release because 1) perl-5.10 mis-compile some generated source files (works fine with earlier perl), and 2) the C# compiler crashes with an internal failure, and 3) I don't have time right now. When 3) is resolved, I'll check whether the problems in 1) and 2) still exists and will report them. I hope this response from the copyright holder is sufficient to keep distributing the current files. /Simon Vincent Lefevre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Package: libidn11-dev > Version: 1.8-2 > Severity: serious > Justification: Policy 2.1 > > /usr/share/doc/libidn11-dev/libidn.pdf.gz contains: > > Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this > document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, > Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software > Foundation; with the Invariant Sections being "Commercial Support", > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. > > There is an invariant section, making this manual non-free according > to <http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001.en.html>. > > -- System Information: > Debian Release: lenny/sid > APT prefers unstable > APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') > Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) > > Kernel: Linux 2.6.25.4-20080521 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) > Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) > Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash > > Versions of packages libidn11-dev depends on: > ii libidn11 1.8-2 GNU libidn library, > implementation > ii pkg-config 0.22-1 manage compile and link flags > for > > libidn11-dev recommends no packages. > > -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
