Bug#579494: socat is GPLv2-only, links against GPLv3 libreadline6

2010-04-27 Thread James Y Knight

Package: socat
Version: 1.7.1.2-1
Severity: serious

Socat is licensed under the GPLv2, according to the "README" file, not  
GPLv2 or later. The debian package is built against libreadline6,  
which is under GPLv3 or later. Since GPLv2 and GPLv3 are incompatible,  
this is a license violation.


I'd suggest making socat Build-Depend on libreadline5-dev again to  
solve this problem. (Which thus unfixes bug 553853; that should be  
marked wontfix, since fixing it necessarily involves a license  
violation.)

Bug#543730: SIP 4.8 has a new (non-free?) license

2009-08-26 Thread James Y Knight

Source: sip4-qt3
Version: 4.8.1-1
Severity: serious

The copyright file in the package contains the license for SIP 4.0 not  
SIP 4.8. (That's a bug in itself...)


The *actual* SIP 4.8 license (contained in the file named "LICENSE")  
is substantially different. In particular, it now contains a new clause:

4. Licensee may not use SIP 4.8.1 to generate Python bindings for any
C or C++ library for which bindings are already provided by Riverbank.



As I understand things, this makes the license non-free due to DFSG6  
"No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor", and furthermore, not  
GPL-compatible.

Bug#487374: FTBFS: Cannnot calculate stack trace

2008-06-23 Thread James Y Knight

I built this package successfully on amd64 by adding:
DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS := --enable-frame-pointers

to debian/rules. I expect that should be conditional upon the arch  
being amd64 but I don't know how to do that.


Unfortunately, the build failures on powerpc and ia64 look to be  
completely different problems.

Could this be the same bug as:

and
