Hi -legal! I was reviewing a package "classified-ads" for Debian, and I noticed a potential problem in the process. Namely, the author of the program has decided to use GPL3 with the OpenSSL exception. However, they have taken some files from Nokia which are dual licensed under either LGPL2.1 or GPL3. I think that since Nokia did not make the OpenSSL exception, Debian cannot legally distribute the result. However, I assume that it would be okay if the maintainer decided to change their license to LGPL2.1. Can someone confirm whether all of this is correct?
The project is here: https://github.com/operatornormal/classified_ads/ and the Nokia-licensed files are here: https://github.com/operatornormal/classified_ads/tree/master/textedit Yours thankfully, Riley Baird
