GPL compatibility question.



Hi debian-legal,

I'd like to have your opinion about a GPL compatibility issue.
Libcanlock has been ITP'ed (#204933) and the goal is to have slrn use
it (#127901). However, slrn is GPL and libcanlock is made of several
files :

 - one is BSD licensed
 - some are under the X11 license as found in
   http://www.x.org/Downloads_terms.html
 - one is taken from RFC 3174 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3174.html,
   license terms at the end).

I don't like the wording of "derivative work that comment on...", I
think it narrows the scope of what kind of derivative works are
allowed.

Thanks for your comments,

Laurent.
