Package: figlet Version: 2.2.5-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.2.1
Hello, while reviewing the debian/copyright file of the (finally back in main!) figlet package, I noticed two issues. The first is an inaccurate copying of a license text: | Files: tests/emboss.tlf | Copyright: 2006 Sam Hocevar <s...@hocevar.net> | License: WTFPL-2 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim or modified | copies of this license document, and changing it is allowed as long | as the name is changed. This is not the actual text of the WTFPL v2, which is instead reported at http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/COPYING Please fix the debian/copyright file. The second issue is the most important one (and it gives the title to this bug report): | Files: fonts/8859-*.flc | Copyright: 1991-2003 Unicode Inc. | License: other | This file is provided as-is by Unicode, Inc. (The Unicode Consortium). | No claims are made as to fitness for any particular purpose. No | warranties of any kind are expressed or implied.

This license fails to meet the DFSG (#3 and #6) and is GPL-incompatible, as discussed in the following old debian-legal thread: https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2006/01/msg00534.html Please read that debian-legal thread, as it includes potentially useful information on how some files copyrighted by Unicode Inc. may perhaps get re-licensed under DFSG-free terms. Please try to have those files re-licensed in a DFSG-free manner, or, failing that, please drop them by re-packing the source orig.tar.gz archive. Thanks for your time. P.S.: in case you are asking yourself, yes, I am the submitter of the old bug report #274950 (I really care about the freeness of figlet!). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
