You might want to read debian/copyright inside http://people.debian.org/~ntyni/qooxdoo_0.8.2-1.diff.gz but the blocker for me was that framework/source/resource/qx/icon/Oxygen/ was licensed under the LGPL but the source .svg files were not included. (The intentions of the copyright holders of the Oxygen library are made quite clear in http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Oxygen/Licensing ) Other than that, there was some code with the 'Good, not Evil' license that's problematic. It's a recurring topic on debian-legal, see for example http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2010/03/msg00064.html It was also not clear which version of the LGPL applied to the whole of qooxdoo. I think the rest were trivial things like failing to reproduce copyright notices for MIT licenses and failing to include the whole text of the BSDish licenses. No other blockers IIRC. Qooxdoo upstream is aware of these; the last I heard of them was in March 2010 when Andreas Ecker said they are on their TODO list. I haven't looked at their code repository recently for fixes and I haven't scanned anything newer than 0.8.2 for new problems.
