Package: ledger
Version: 3.0.0+dfsg1-1
Severity: serious

ledger bundles an SHA-1 C++ implementation by Paul E. Jones which is
licensed under a "Freeware Public License". This license does not allow
modification and therefore does not adhere to the DFSG.


The ledger source tree contains these files:

  lib/sha1.cpp
  lib/sha1.h

These files have this header:

 * Copyright (C) 1998
 * Paul E. Jones <pau...@arid.us>
 * All Rights Reserved.


This bundled sha1 software is taken from here:

  http://www.packetizer.com/security/sha1/

The ledger source tree contains the 1998 version of the sha1 software,
but without any reference to a license. Unfortunately, I could not find
the 1998 version of the software on the packetizer.com website to
determine the license.

A revised 2009 release on the website contains the following license:

==========

This software is licensed as "freeware."  Permission to distribute

DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF DATA
OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE.

There was a similar issue with the "orthanc" package. This was resolved
when the upstream author switched to a different library with a license
compatible with the DFSG:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=724947
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2013/09/msg00077.html


(NB: I am not a Debian user, but spotted this problem while packaging
ledger-3.0.0 for Fedora.)


Kind regards,
