Bug#793145: Lintian claims license problem



Hi,

E: python-dtcwt source: license-problem-non-free-img-lenna matlab/lena.mat
N: 
N:    The given source file is cropped from playboy centerfold.
N:    
N:    This image is a picture of Lena Söderberg, shot by photographer Dwight
N:    Hooker, cropped from the centerfold of the November 1972 issue of
N:    Playboy magazine.
N:    
N:    According to Hutchison, Jamie (May–June 2001). "Culture,
N:    Communication, and an Information Age Madonna" (PDF). IEEE Professional
N:    Communication Society Newsletter 45 (3). (page 5 second column second
N:    paragraph), this image is distributable but not free.
N:    
N:    Moreover, Lenna photo has been pointed to as an example of sexism in the
N:    sciences, reinforcing gender stereotypes.
N:    
N:    Please use well known and free test image.

I guess you need to strip this image (I was also beaten two times with
this recently).

Kind regards

       Andreas.
