Package: claws-mail-themes
Version: 20140629+dfsg2-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1
Hello and thanks for maintaining claws-mail.
I noticed that one of the themes shipped in package 'claws-mail-themes'
is non-free and should not be included in a package in Debian main:
Files: UltimateClawsMail0.5.1/*
Copyright:
Daniel LaGesse
License: CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0
Comment:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/
This is non-free, since it's non-commercial.
Please persuade its upstream copyright holder to re-license it
under DFSG-free terms (such as the GNU GPL) or drop the theme
from the package.
Another part of the package is apparently licensed under a
Creative Commons license, which is however identified with
a non-standard short name:
Files: Fugue/*
Copyright:
Yusuke Kamiyamane (http://www.pinvoke.com/)
Ciprian Popovici <[email protected]>
License: CCA-3.0
Comment:
http://xlife.zuavra.net/index.php/tag/claws-mail/
The package contains icons that vaguely resemble logos of Adobe
products. They are a loose imitation of the originals, created from
scratch. It is neither mine nor Kamiyamane-san's intention to infringe
upon trademarks owned by Adobe nor to create any confusion regarding
their products, but simply to provide means of loosely identifying
certain types of mail attachments.
This license appears to be CC-BY-3.0, but the license text is not
explicitly identified as Creative Commons Attribution version 3.0
and the URL provided in the comment is now a dead link (the
domain no longer exists).
I would strongly recommend to persuade the upstream copyright
holders of these icons to re-license or dual-license them
under more clearly DFSG-free terms (such as the GNU GPL).
Although CC-BY-3.0 is accepted by Debian ftp masters, I respectfully
disagree with this decision: CC licenses (even the ones accepted
in Debian main) are highly controversial and considered non-free
by a number of people. It would be way better, if those icons were
more clearly DFSG-free.
Thanks for your time and patience!
Bye.

Despite the time passed, efforts were worth it and it went well :-)
Unfortunately my typing mistake on the changelog¹ has prevented the
report from being closed properly with the last upload. Hence I'm doing
it by hand now, apologies for the inconvenience.
best regards,
