As upstream STR #3509 ( http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3509 ), backend/scsi.c has BSD with advertising license may conflict with GPL. upstream wrote in that STR: "Well, since we are the copyright holder we can say that the BSD license in the SCSI backend sources is compatible, just as we say you can mix CUPS with OpenSSL - the CUPS license is GPL2+LGPL2+exceptions." "In any case, since a) the SCSI backend is never used, b) we have removed it from CUPS trunk, and c) Linux distributors can always remove the SCSI backend from the list of legacy backends that are built and installed with the current releases of CUPS, I'm going to just dupe this bug against STR #3500." So I think Debian (and Ubuntu) CUPS has two options. A. Ask an official note about GPL/BSD exception to upstream and add it debian/copyright file or somewhere. B. Exclude scsi backend binary from binary debs.
