--- Begin Message ---Package: xfree86 Version: 4.2.1-6 Severity: serious The following sections of the debian/copyright file for xfree86: 2.4 GLX Public License 2.5 CID Font Code Public License contain clauses which debian-legal has found to be non-free according to the DFSG - see thread starting at http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/debian-legal-200309/msg00723.html Code covered by these licenses need to be relicensed or removed from Debian's distribution of XFree86. The licence "SGI FREE SOFTWARE LICENCE B" which is found in the copyright file for version 4.2.1-11, also contains a non-free clause (discussed in the same thread). Since only the Debian revision differs, I suppose that whatever code that is covered by will also be present in 4.2.1-6. Since the BTS wants a version, I give the one curtrently in sarge (which is where we need most urgently to keep track of release-critical issues), but the ones in woody and sid, plus the expermental 4.3.0 packages, all look to be affected too. -- Henning Makholm "*Vi vil ha wienerbrød!*"
