Hello Alan,

Might also be worth asking on debian-legal@lists.debian.org

I thought flickrfs was licensed under GPL v2 though?

flickrfs is licensed under GPL v2 but flickrapi.py is licensed under
Creative Commons license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/

That leaves several options then:

- Ask upstream to re-license flickrapi.py under some other more clearly DFSG license. - Ask for clarification on the CC-by-2.5 licenses from debian-legal (the document I referred to earlier talks about 2.0)
- Split the source into a contrib package and a non-free package.

Any thoughts?
Alan
