Package: db4o
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.3
This package's copyright file claims the author has a different
interpretation of the GPL, which is available at a currently unavailable
URL. The clarification should be in the copyright file itself.

As I understood when I uploaded the package, the db4o interpretation
of GPL doesn't go further than GPL itself. Anyway, they cannot paste
GPL to their code and then interpret it in a different way than GPL
itself literature. If they do so, they're not licensing the code under
GPL but other different thing.
