Package: wordpress
Version: 2.5.1-11+lenny3
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.1


WordPress includes a plugin in wp-content/plugins/hello.php in the
default distribution. This plugin contains in the source code the full
lyrics to a copyrighted work, a song called "Hello Dolly".

IANAL, but I believe it is impossible that these lyrics are
GPL-compatible. Relevant wordpress ticket:

http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15769

(the discussion is rather unsettling)

A quick research on http://iswcnet.cisac.org/iswcnet/logon.do seems to
show the copyright holders.

Regards,

Nicolas
