Bug#692733: src:epydoc: non-free files in main (CC-BY-NC-SA)
Epydoc itself is released under the MIT license: http://epydoc.sourceforge.net/license.html The page in question is specifying the license for the powerpoint slides and video from my presentation at PyCon 2004. I'm not sure whether those slides/video are curently included in the debian package. I would think not -- i.e., I believe that that page just has pointers to externally hosted files such as http://www.pycon.org/dc2004/talks/files/epydoc/pycon-epydoc-large.mov. So I'm not sure what the problem is. But at any rate, I'm the owner of both epydoc and of those powerpoint slides and videos, and would be happy to release them under a more permissive license if you wish. -Edward On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 6:43 AM, Ansgar Burchardt ans...@debian.org wrote: Package: src:epydoc Version: 3.0.1-12 Severity: serious Files: doc/pycon-epydoc.html Copyright: 2004 Edward Loper License: CC-BY-NC-SA That's a non-free license and not appropriate for Debian.

Hi Edward, The Debian package contains just one file under this license: doc/pycon-epydoc.html, which is basically a short pointer to the other slides/videos on the pycon.org website (those slides/videos are not included in the Debian package). The simplest thing for now is to just remove that one file from the Debian package, since it doesn't really need to be there. That will resolve the bug. I've already got a patch checked into my revision control. I'll upload a new Debian package later today when I can get access to my build environment. I'll also coordinate with the release managers to get the new changes accepted into Wheezy (since this is considered a release-critical bug and we're in freeze). KEN -- Kenneth J.

Sounds good to me (and now that I look more closely, the links appear to be broken anyway -- I guess the pycon.org/dc2004 page went away) Thanks, -Edward On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 11:01 AM, Kenneth Pronovici prono...@ieee.org wrote: The Debian package contains just one file under this license: doc/pycon-epydoc.html, which is basically a short pointer to the other slides/videos on the pycon.org website (those slides/videos are not included in the Debian package).
