Re: Bug#698527: elmer: executable ElmerGUI.real links with both GPL-licensed and GPL-incompatible libraries

Hi,

> will we request the package removing from wheezy as well?

I have no final decision yet. I need more opinions. (Cc'ing mailing list)

Problem affects only binary file ElmerGUI.real which provides modern
convenient GUI for pre-processing and post-processing FE models.

But package still includes old binaries ElmerFront and ElmerPost with
ugly graphical interfaces based on Tk library. I have not tested them
myself, but they should provide similar functionality.

Solver and libraries do not use graphical toolkits at all.

So if we remove problematic binary from the package, program will become
very inconvenient but not useless.

Any votes to do this?

Best regards,
Boris
