Package: sip-tester Version: 3.1.r590-1 Severity: serious Among the many lintian complaints for sip-tester I saw this:
E: sip-tester: possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl http://lintian.debian.org/tags/possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl.html I've confirmed that the upstream code does not contain any exception to the GPL to allow it to be linked against OpenSSL. In addition there is almost zero copyright information in the code so it isn't clear who can add such an exception. For more info, see these links from the ftp-master's reject FAQ: http://ftp-master.debian.org/REJECT-FAQ.html http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#LEGAL2 http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (550, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages sip-tester depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.5.0-2 GCC support library ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpcap0.8 1.1.1-2 system interface for user-level pa ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8n-1 SSL shared libraries ii libstdc++6 4.4.2-9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
