Package: hurd Version: 1:0.8.git20160826-1 Severity: serious File: /hurd/ext2fs.static
The ext2fs translator contains GPLv2-only code copied from Linux, but it is linked (through libstore) with libparted, which is GPLv3-or-later since 2007. This combination violates at least one of the licenses. The problem is clearest in ext2fs.static but FSF doctrine is it applies to dynamic linking as well. One of the Hurd developers acknowledged in August 2007 that ext2fs in the Hurd contains GPLv2-only code: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2007-08/msg00073.html The "BSD-licensed liblabel" was suggested as a replacement of libparted, on the #hurd IRC channel on 2016-09-15. Until that is implemented, the partition-table support in libstore could be disabled altogether, because GNU Mach currently provides a named device for each partition. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: hurd-i386 (i686-AT386) Kernel: GNU-Mach 1.7+git20160809-486-dbg/Hurd-0.8 Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages hurd depends on: ii hurd-libs0.3 1:0.8.git20160826-1 ii libblkid1 2.28.1-1 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-8 ii libc0.3 2.23-5 ii libdaemon0 0.14-6 ii libncursesw5 6.0+20160625-1+b1 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20160625-1+b1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1+b1 ii netdde 0.0.20150828-3 ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-59.8 ii xkb-data 2.17-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2 Versions of packages hurd recommends: pn bf-utf-source <none> Versions of packages hurd suggests: pn hurd-doc <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/hurd-console changed: ENABLE='false' DISPLAY='-d vga' KBD='-d pc_kbd' if [ -f /etc/default/keyboard ] then . /etc/default/keyboard fi [ -z "$XKBLAYOUT" ] || KBD="$KBD --keymap $XKBLAYOUT" KBD_REPEAT='--repeat=kbd' MOUSE='-d pc_mouse --protocol=ps/2' MOUSE_REPEAT='--repeat=mouse' -- no debconf information
