Package: apache-common
Version: 1.3.12-2.0.potato.1
Severity: important
apache-common currently ships with 84 GIF files used as icons for
virtual directory views and similar. GIF is non-free due to a patent
on LZW compression held and enforced by UNISYS corporation. See for
more information:
http://www.burnallgifs.org/
http://www.unisys.com/unisys/lzw/lzw-license.asp
Apache should be considered non-free until this is remedied.
The GIFs are in:
/usr/share/apache/icons
/usr/share/apache/icons/debian
This probably necessitates changes in Apache's virtual directory
handling.
