severity 619398 serious thanks Hi,
I'm raising the severity because pulseaudio's copyright file[0] says:
Hence you should treat the client library ('libpulse') of PulseAudio as
being LGPL licensed and the server part ('libpulsecore') as being GPL
licensed. Since the PulseAudio daemon and the modules link to
'libpulsecore' they are of course also GPL licensed.
Since the client library (libpulse0) still depends[1] on libgdbm3 which
is GPL2+[3], the above copyright notice is apparently incorrect.
The only thing that confuses me, is that the maintainers seem to have
switched to tdb quite some time ago[3] and have also released a few new
versions in the meantime. Maybe debian/rules also needs to be modified
like your original patch[4] suggests? Any comments?
Best regards
Alexander Kurtz
