Hi all, I was hoping to get some input from this list on whether we should be dropping packages containing the 'waf' build system. Its come up for discussion in Debian as it appears to be a DFSG violation[1] (not our problem), but might also constitute a GPL violation [2].
Its worth noting not all packages shipping waf are automatically problematic (its suggested samba ships the full waf source embedded [3]) I'm not sure the best way to get a current list of packages embedding waf. An expensive way would be to extract all packages and search for it - i can do it , but rather only if needed.
