License requiring US export law compliance
The beignet package is mostly under LGPL2.1, but since version 1.0.0,
has included 2 files based on gpuocelot (
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-opencl/beignet.git/tree/backend/src/ir/structural_analysis.cpp
), under BSD-3 plus this additional clause:
You agree that the Software will not be shipped, transferred, exported,
or re-exported directly into any country prohibited by the United States
Export Administration Act and the regulations thereunder nor will be
used for any purpose prohibited by the Act.
(gpuocelot itself is not in Debian, and is still under that license,
http://gpuocelot.gatech.edu/ )
Is this allowed in Debian? (No according to
https://people.debian.org/~bap/dfsg-faq 12p.)
Is the combination legal to distribute? (The FSF interpretation is that
distributors can require this
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#ExportWarranties , but is that
the same thing as putting it in the license?)
If not, what is a good way to report this to upstream?
