Package: php5
Version: 5.2.0-8
Severity: serious
Please have a look into line 144-148 of ext/standard/rand.c:
" When you use this, send an email to: [email protected]
with an appropriate reference to your work.
It would be nice to CC: [email protected] and
[email protected]
when you write."
This is not conform to the DFSG, even in 5.2.6-3. Please keep me updated,
since the same code is also used in the latest php-suhosin upstream source and
is preventing fixing some serious bugs in lenny.
Looking at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/4301.html, there
is a different license:

Thanks and with kind regards, Jan.

You filed the bug http://bugs.debian.org/499471 in Debian BTS
against the package php4. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/428266. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
