I took a quick look at the code and found it may require DFSG actions.

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/waste/waste/license.cpp?rev=1.1&view=auto
that arrays are either the GPL license itself, backdoor code (who knows,
I didn't try to decode it) or some hashes of something.

To me it seems it violates the GPL, the source code is not in a
changeable form.

It is also a good place to hide backdoors when crackers get access the
the source code repository...
