Severity: serious

In the copyright file, it is claimed that:

  The Debian patch is distributed under the terms of the GPL, which you
  can find in /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL.

If this is true, then there is a license conflict. ssh is linked with
libssl0.9.7, which is the openssl library. The terms of the GPL and
those of OpenSSL's license conflict and Debian does not consider OpenSSL
to fall under the "integral part of the system" exception. See -legal
for more information, or better yet, search the archives.

One of the copyright notices in the copyright file claims:

    The 32-bit CRC implementation in crc32.c is due to Gary S. Brown.
    Comments in the file indicate it may be used for any purpose without
    restrictions:

     * COPYRIGHT (C) 1986 Gary S. Brown.  You may use this program, or
     * code or tables extracted from it, as desired without restriction.

which does *absolutely nothing* for Debian. Use (at least in the US) is
already explicitly permitted by copyright law. This grants us no rights
to distribute, modify, or copy, and so *fails* virtually every provision
of the DFSG. This code may have already been replaced, and if so, you
can ignore this portion of the bug. I remember seeing something about
this on -legal. You may want to investigate whether this is the case.
