Bug#1091999: parser3-cgi: Contains incompatible license combination



Package: parser3-cgi
Version: 3.4.5-1
Severity: serious

parser3-cgi and libapache2-mod-parser3 combine GPL licensed files with the RSA-MD licensed files in src/lib/md5.
RSA-MD is incompatible with any GPL version because of its advertisement clause:

"""
License is also granted to make and use derivative works provided                                                                    that such works are identified as "derived from the RSA Data                                                                         Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm" in all material                                                                         mentioning or referencing the derived work.
"""

Also, the Apache-1.1 license used in those files is problematic with GPL.
