Package: libsdl1.2debian Version: 1.2.15+dfsg1-4 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
After inspecting my application for library issues, I found that it uses this library, libsdl1.2debian, which in turn links to libcaca for ASCII rendering. While the license for libcaca is permissive, IT, in turn links to slang. Slang is VERY much GPL, which immediatly invalidates the GPL license of libsdl. Technically speaking, any application which is using libsdl is infected by the GPL due to this linking. Please either remove the dependency on libcaca, or have libcaca remove the dependency on libslang. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libsdl1.2debian depends on: ii libasound2 1.1.3-5 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libcaca0 0.99.beta19-2+b2 ii libpulse0 10.0-1+deb9u1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 libsdl1.2debian recommends no packages. libsdl1.2debian suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
