Severity: serious

Dear maintainer,

assimp seems to bundle ConvertUTF library which is under a non-DFSG license.

$ lintian -i assimp_3.3.1~dfsg-4.dsc
E: assimp source: license-problem-convert-utf-code 
contrib/ConvertUTF/ConvertUTF.c
N:
N:    The following file source files include material under a non-free
N:    license from Unicode Inc. Therefore, it is not possible to ship this in
N:    main or contrib.
N:
N:    This license does not grant any permission to modify the files (thus
N:    failing DFSG#3). Moreover, the license grant to attempt to restrict use
N:    to "products supporting the Unicode Standard" (thus failing DFSG#6).
N:
N:    In this case a solution is to use libicu and to remove this code by
N:    repacking.
N:
N:    If this is a false-positive, please report a bug against Lintian.
N:
N:    Refer to https://bugs.debian.org/823100 for details.

N:    Severity: serious, Certainty: possible
