Source: libaqbanking
Version: 2.2.3-3
Severity: serious
Justification: Debian Policy Chapter 2.2.1
The AqBanking .orig.tar.gz distributes a non-free binary file
src/plugins/backends/aqyellownet/plugin/libaqyellownet.so which is
covered by a separate, German only license. This license permits
distribution of the binary file and limits the user in what he can do
with it:
§ 3. Besondere Beschraenkungen: Es ist Ihnen untersagt, die Software
zu dekompilieren, einer Rückentwicklung zu unterziehen, zu
deassemblieren oder in eine visuell erfassbare Form zu bringen.
which translates to something like:
§ 3. Special Restrictions: You are prohibited to decompile,
reverse-engineer, disassemble, or transform this software into
a visually comprehensable form.
This violates in my opinion two aspects of the [0]DFSG:
- The source code must be included but isn't
- The special restrictions seem to prohibit derived works.
Since I'm the maintainer of the package for the package I apoligize for
not rising this earlier. I really didn't notice it before!
Fortunately this bug should be easily done by repackaging the source
tarball.

Micha
