Please remove goldedplus.
* Orphaned for 5 months.
* Includes a heavily modified copy of uulib 0.5.15 vulnerable to
CVE-2004-0333 (buffer overflows) and CVE-2004-2265 (insecure
temporary files).
* Includes code from a non-free abandonware library. Quoting the
copyright file: "Parts of the Goldware Library is derived from the
source of the old Shareware CXL 5.2 library by Mike Smedley, from
which I bought a source license many years ago. [...] much code is
essentially unchanged [...] I even tried to find Mike Smedley, but
apparently he has vanished off the face of the earth [...]"
* popcon: 13 installations, 4 votes.
Thanks,
Matej
