Bug#520982: kdelibs: win subdirectory of sourcecode contains undistributable mix of GPL/BSD licenses
Package: kdelibs
Version: 3.5.10.dfsg.1-2
Severity: serious
Justification: dfsg #1
in the orig.tar.gz, the win subdirectory contains in.h which is licensed GPL2+
and pwd.h which is 4-clause BSD. This combination is well known to not be
distributable.
readdir.{h,c} is ASL 1.1 which is also not compatible with the GPL.
Hopefully, since this sourcecode all seems to be related to running KDE on
windows, it could be removed from the upstream tarball.
bye,
stew
