Package: afio
Version: 2.5-5
Severity: serious
the license for afio is non-free. see /usr/share/doc/afio/copyright:
* ------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* License notice 1, covering part of this software package.

*
* --------
the core of the issue is condition (1), which discriminates against
fields of endeavor (DFSG #6).
in all actuality, the licensing issue looks quite complex: see blog
[1] and redhat bug [2]. note that redhat's response was to remove the
package. also, cpio supposedly provides the same functionality as
afio, so it may not even be necessary to provide this package. after
seeing the blog, the FSF declared afio non-free [3].
i'm marking this as serious for now since this is a DFSG violation,
but i can appreciate a decision to mark it lenny-ignore or to
temporarily downgrade it to important since the release is impending.
