Is libreludedb DFSG compliant?
Hi
I am the maintainer of prelude software, a *Hybrid IDS:
http://www.prelude-ids.org/
The new release (0.9.x) create a new library: libpreludedb.
I package it, but it was rejected due to issue on the understatning of
the licence.
So I ask for your understanding...
This is the LICENSE.README file provided with the sources of libpreludedb:

----
As it was linked with GPL libraries, I think the package is GPL and can
go to main, what is your opinion?
Thanks for your help
