You might want to read debian/copyright inside
http://people.debian.org/~ntyni/qooxdoo_0.8.2-1.diff.gz
but the blocker for me was that
framework/source/resource/qx/icon/Oxygen/
was licensed under the LGPL but the source .svg files were not included.
(The intentions of the copyright holders of the Oxygen library are made
quite clear in
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Oxygen/Licensing )
Other than that, there was some code with the 'Good, not Evil' license
that's problematic. It's a recurring topic on debian-legal, see for
example
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2010/03/msg00064.html
It was also not clear which version of the LGPL applied to the whole
of qooxdoo.
I think the rest were trivial things like failing to reproduce copyright
notices for MIT licenses and failing to include the whole text of the
BSDish licenses. No other blockers IIRC.
Qooxdoo upstream is aware of these; the last I heard of them was in
March 2010 when Andreas Ecker said they are on their TODO list. I haven't
looked at their code repository recently for fixes and I haven't scanned
anything newer than 0.8.2 for new problems.
Thanks for your interest,
