Argh Shame on us :(

Perhaps but the author say in the new version of the lib :   "you may
distribute the resulting work only under a license identical to this one
   (Can be included in GPL/LGPL projects)"

I don't know if it's ok for debian or not.

CAS in GLPI would'nt function correctly.

We could'nt code a new lib just for that...

It's not a good solution for our users.

First, do you need a urgent answer ?  Which GLPI release do you want to
package now ?

Differents  workarounds :

- - Put the new lib in the package if the licence is ok

- - Remove the lib from the package and put a README to explain that the
user must download the lib himself.

- - Other... I don't know... Perhaps Julien has another solution.


Thanks for you work Pierre,

Best regards,
