There is work in progress upstream (status 13 Dec 2014: Review in Progress). The amount of code is not much, but I am not able to judge the workings. Review is needed if this should go into Debian for Jessie. > > 2) "scilab-<version>/modules/randlib/src/c/fsultra.c" This file is currently not commented on in the upstream bug report. > The versions of scilab in squeeze and wheezy already included those > files, with the same license. I wonder if this shouldn't simply be > jessie-ignored, given that both codes are fairly old mathematical codes. I think if Sylvestre is right with his statement "Old ACM algorithms were in a kind of public domain but they updated their license policies" [1] than we can jessie-ignore this. @Sylvestre: do you have any data that would substantiate this? Should we just file a bug against release.debian.org (the RT) and ask to jessie-ignore this bug? If the rpoly implementation is good than only the second file would need jessie-ignore.
