Package: libphp-adodb
Version: 5.07-1
Severity: normal

Hi.

The libphp-adodb package contains pear/Auth/Container/ADOdb.php which seems to 
be published under the PHP license :

~/libphp-adodb-5.07$ licensecheck -r . | grep PHP
./pear/Auth/Container/ADOdb.php: *No copyright* PHP (v2.02) 

More precisely it contains :
// | This source file is subject to version 2.02 of the PHP license,      |
// | that is bundled with this package in the file LICENSE, and is        |
// | available at through the world-wide-web at                           |
// | http://www.php.net/license/2_02.txt.                                 |
// | If you did not receive a copy of the PHP license and are unable to   |
// | obtain it through the world-wide-web, please send a note to          |
// | [email protected] so we can mail you a copy immediately.               |

This means that the debian/copyright file is incomplete, AFAICT.

This may also mean that the licensing of this piece is non-DFSG free (as the 
PHP license seems problematic for code which is not PHP itself, but IANAL).

Btw, we noticed this by discussing #534845 about a copy of ADODB included in 
Mantis.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

P.S.: not raising the severity, although I suppose there are rules for doing so 
when it deals with copyright... but probably no need to escalade for now ;)
