The commit you are referencing is on upstream's master branch only, not on the tcpdump-4.99 branch. Hence, the source Debian uses has not been relicensed yet. I opened a ticket upstream [1] adressing the issue. [1] https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/tcpdump/issues/1472 Cheers, Sven -- GPG Fingerprint 3DF5 E8AA 43FC 9FDF D086 F195 ADF5 0EDA F8AD D585
