Package: inkscape
Version: 0.48.4-2
Severity: serious
Hello,
I just found by chance (because the inkscape icon is incorporated in the Sozi
icon, https://github.com/senshu/Sozi/blob/master/editors/inkscape/sozi/icon.svg)
that the Inkscape icon contains a statement suggesting that its license is
CC-BY-SA 2.0. This is unfortunate, as Debian's FTP team does not consider it
Free.
Perhaps you can clarify this with the Inkscape authors ? Maybe they intended
GPL-2 anyway...
Cheers,

The inkscape upload in experimental contains the newer version, which contains
the new license, and thus fixes this bug. I don't know if this version is
expected to go to unstable soon, but if not, it might be nice to have this fix
backported.
Matteo, are you planning to repacking the orig tarball in for 0.48 in
unstable, or do you prefer an NMU for this?
For people checking this bug, the patch is at
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/revision/12514
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/diff/12514
BTW I notice the CC licenses aren't mentioned in the copyright file. This
probably also is a serious issue.
Cheers,
Ivo
