Package: autobook
Severity: serious
Justification: DFSG

Hi,

In http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/03/msg00226.html , it is
explained why the OPL (Open Publication License) v1 is considered to be
non-DFSG-free.  All 3 reasons also apply to the "OPEN PUBLICATION
LICENSE Draft v0.4, 8 June 1999", as used by the autobook.  Therefore,
OPL v0.4 is non-DFSG-free, and the autobook package should be removed
from main.

See Bug #136197 for a discussion dating from May 2002 about the Autobook
and licensing.  It's a pity people taking part in that discussion
weren't aware of the additional restrictions in the OPL :(

It might be reasonable to choose not to upload autobook to non-free: the
content is getting obsolete anyway.

Bye,

Joost
