Package: lzma Version: 4.43-3 Severity: normal Hi,
the copyright file only mentions LGPL licensing, whereas the upstream source allows several alternatives. While it is no legal problem that only LGPL is mentioned, the use of GPL for the Debian patches actually turns the whole code into GPL AFAIK. Maybe you could consider releasing the patches in a less strict format; maybe even one as lax as BSD, in order not to "tighten up" the licensing? At a minimum, could you use LGPL instead of GPL?
