Package: amsn
Version: 0.95+dfsg2-0.2
Severity: serious
des.tcl contains the following paragraph at the end of its license
terms:
GOVERNMENT USE: If you are acquiring this software on behalf of the U.S.
government, the Government shall have only "Restricted Rights" in the software
and related documentation as defined in the Federal Acquisition Regulations
(FARs) in Clause 52.227.19 (c) (2). If you are acquiring the software on
behalf of the Department of Defense, the software shall be classified as
"Commercial Computer Software" and the Government shall have only "Restricted
Rights" as defined in Clause 252.227-7013 (c) (1) of DFARs. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the authors grant the U.S. Government and others acting in its
behalf permission to use and distribute the software in accordance with the
terms specified in this license.
IANAL, but this seems to prohibit some things allowed by the GPL to the U.S.
government. If I understand right, the U.S. Department of Defense is not
allowed to redistribute or copy freely des.tcl, which would violate the DFSG.
