copyright violation in libflash
Hi Aubin!
Olivier Debon (upstream maintainer of libflash) just told me that
some files in libflash cannot be licensed under the GPL:
./lib/adpcm.cc
./lib/script.cc
because they are (or appear to be) a derived work from macromedia's
copyrighted code. he said he's working on a replacement and will
release a fixed version in a few weeks.
please could you invistigate on this? it could be that libflash needs to
be removed from debian until the issue is solved.
I'm CCing debian-legal
cheers,
