Package: release.debian.org
Severity: minor

Hi,

Concerning:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=688095

Yorick is an interpreted language developed at UCB. It is under 3-clause BSD
license.

It has recently been brought to my attention that there is one file bearing the
obnoxious 4-clause BSD license. 4-clause BSD is DFSG-free, but GPL-incompatible
(and overall we'd like to get rid of it).

Problem: many Yorick plug-ins are released under GPL, the package ships some
file under GPL.

Considering that:
 - its just a tiny header file which doesn't get installed;
 - its clearly a leftover and upstream has already corrected it on their git;
 - it's a modified file coming from actual *BSD, from which the clause has been
waved already:
   ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change

I think it's best to just ignore it for Wheezy.

Alternatively, I can upload a "new upstream" version with those changes (Yorick
is already repacked with a +dsfg version anyway):
 - replace this file with the git version (which only changes the copyright
comment);
 - mention it in debian/copyright;
 - mention it in debian/changelog.
Debdiff attached.


Kind regards, Thibaut.

Hi,

As 688095 was downgraded, the request in 688110 is no longer relevant, so this
bug can be closed.

Cheers,

Ivo
