Bug#456190: geoip: debian/copyright is wrong

2007-12-13 Thread Pierre Habouzit 
Package: geoip
Severity: serious


* libgeoip is NOT under the GPL but the LGPL.
* Source for the geolite database is not in the package, hence it's not
  DFSG free, though it's downloadable from
  http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity, it should be packaged
  independently along with the CSV generated here.
* license for the database is BSD with advertisement clause which I'm
  unsure is DFSG free, and is not the GPL anyways.


  Not to mention that geoip holds a couple of files (like md5 code that
has different license).

Hello,

it is not DFSG free - it's a known issue and yesterday I recieved an 
email from maxmind (Upstream) where I'm allowed to clean it up.


I will try to fix it as fast as possible, but I've to do much work.
