Package: libdap
Version: 3.9.3-5
Severity: important

On the basis of upstream sources, OpenDAP is released under LGPL-2.1 not
the 'viral' GPL as stated in debian/copyright. That prevents linking OpenDAP by
a series of third-parties software such as netcdf (v 4.1.1) or hdf5 (1.8+)
without changing their licenses too (and that of a other not related software
such as mapserver). Please, explain why or change back the Debian 
license information ASAP.
