Bug#534338: OpenSSL bindings for Perl -- licensing questions

  Eh?   How is a binding to a library not a project that is derived from
  that library?  I don't follow your explanation that the clause is
  unenforcable.  What makes it unenforcable? 
 
 Because if I write the code, I own it.  So in the case of a perl module
 I can call it anything I want unless there is a trademark involved (and,
 i believe trademarking words is a perversion).
 

In this case *some* of the code was written by the authors of the perl
code, but much of the source code comes directly from openssl.  The perl
module author is taking a lot of code from openssl, adding some of their
own, them compiling that together into a new work.  This is clearly a
derrivative work.

Look, for example at the source code to libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl.  In
RSA.xs, these lines appear:

#include openssl/bio.h
#include openssl/bn.h
#include openssl/err.h
#include openssl/md5.h
#include openssl/objects.h
#include openssl/pem.h
#include openssl/rand.h
#include openssl/ripemd.h
#include openssl/rsa.h
#include openssl/sha.h
#include openssl/ssl.h

Those are instructions to the compiler to directly include source code
from the openssl project.

Bug#534338: OpenSSL bindings for Perl -- licensing questions

2012-06-27 Thread Mike O'Connor
Kai Storbeck k...@xs4all.nl writes:


 I'm a bit perplexed that the module authors have anything to do with
 this as long as they are clearly stating their code is released under

The license of the perl module is not the concern.  The concern is that
we are violating the license of the openssl software.


 Should Debian concern itself (too much) with the authority of such a
 claim? 

Yes.  Is there any reason to think that The OpenSSL Project does not
have a valid claim on the headers in /usr/include/openssl?

 Is it debians task to mediate between all open source forges
 around the world and their claims for licensing?


It is Debian's task to make sure that our software archive is legal.  We
can help upstream here by getting them to where it is legal to
redistribute functional builds of their software.  We can also just stop
distributing this software, or we can go through the process of renaming
the software in Debian.  Of all these options, having this problem fixed
upstream seems to clearly be in the interest of not only Debian, but of
many other users of this software.


 Apologies if this is in the debian policy.

It should be implicit that debian cannot ignore the software licenses
terms for the software we are distributing.

Bug#677146: python-uno uses file from libreoffice-core in preinst without declaring PreDepends

2012-06-11 Thread Mike O'Connor
Package: python-uno
Version: 1:3.5.3-5
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 7.2

during an upgrade, the python-uno preinst script calls:

/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/unopkg

This file seems to come from the libreoffice-core pacakge.  According
to the policy:

Pre-Depends are also required if the preinst script depends on
the named package

I found this when helping someone that was having trouble upgrading
from squeeze to wheezy and was getting a preinst failure due to this

If the gaol this software is to violate debian policy by modifying the
configuratio files of other packages, I don't know why we are wasting so
much time on this, we should just be rid of it.

 Also, I had some discussions with many DDs, some during debconf11, like

 on a clean way, and I have plans for it.
 

I'm troubled by this notion.  This package has been around for years,

The solution is to not modify the cofiguration files of other packages,

I don't understand your response.  I don't know what chrooted users have
to do with this bug.

The problem is that you are allowing the dtc user to run any program
they wish as root.  This means that any apache vulnerability easily
becomes a remote root vulnerability.  If your intention is to let dtc
run any command as root (which I think is a very bad idea), then what is
the point of having the dtc user at all?

debian typically runs apache as the www-data user which has very few
privileges for good reasons.

Package: dtc-common
Version: 0.32.10-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.7.4


It seems to me that the package tries to subvert policy 10.7.4 here.  Other
bugs have been opened against this source package in the past (for example
#414469, #402432, #414484).  I think that trying to get around policy by having
the postinst do stuff like this:

echo 
echo * Warning! DTC setup is not completed. The postinst didn't do it all.  *
echo To finish the installation: execute /usr/share/dtc/admin/install/install
echo 

And thus telling the user to run a script which modifies the configuration
files of a dozen other packages without warning, and often without a way back,
is violating the spirit of the policy.

2011-08-12 Thread Mike O'Connor
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

It's a shame having to do this for a package with an active maintainer, but I
strongly feel like dtc should be removed from debian.  My reasons for thinking
this:

* It seems like anyone that spends any time looking at this package finds
security bugs.

* If you don't want to look specifically for security bugs, there are plenty of
other RC bug s to be found.

* This package depends on being able to modify configuration files of other
packages. (see #637501 and the bugs referenced in that bug)

I'm troubled by the responses that the many security bugs in these packages get
from the maintainer who is also the upstream author.  I'm worried that the
maintainer/upstream author does not have an adequate respect for security
related issues.

Why would a log file like this need to be world writable?  0666 is rarely if
ever going to be the correct permissions.  The logrotate config that is
installed makes the file 0640 and owned by root:adm when the file is rotated.

And since the dtc user owns the chroot_template directory.  A compromise

The www-data user that apache normally runs under has very little

doesn't get to modify many files at all.  In your setup, a compromise of
the webserver gets to modify the named configuration, the mta

Bug#637618: dtc-common: giving sudo access to chrootuid is giving access to root

2011-08-12 Thread Mike O'Connor
Package: dtc-common

the install script gives sudo access to the dtc user (the user that is running
apache) unrestricted access to chrootuid, which essentially gives root access
to the dtc account:

 Of course, this file is not used at build time and is not distributed in our

As I assume you know, since you have an override for the lintian error, there
are questions about the distributability of code under php 2.x licenses for
software which is not part of PHP itself.  Since the upstream homepage [1] now
seems to claim that this is distributable under the php 3.01 license, lets
update debian/copyright to reflect that;

 OK, sorry if this is an old chestnut, but do we actually need a

 description of the source of the software?

As far as I know, we have not made any inquiries to lawyers as to how
valid their claim to the GNOME mark is.  If their claim to the mark is
valid, then we could be legally be required to stop using this mark.  

 
  The case of the image which was created combining the GNOME foot and the
  Debian swirl seem unquestionably in violation of their trademark, [...]
 
 Yes, that seems like something that will have to stop if the GNOME
 foot is not free software because of some restrictive TM licence. :-(
 
  [...] We understand they are doing so to defend Free Software related
  marks, but that doesn't solve the underlying problem. It may also be the
  case that from Debian's point of view, the developer body as a whole
  needs to take a formal stand by means of a GR on the general issue of
  how to resolve the tension among DFSG principles and trademark
  licenses. [...]
 
 Is there a tension?  Isn't it obvious that many Free Software related
 marks are not themselves free software?

The way you state your question Isn't it obvious that many Free
Software related marks are not themselves free software?  Makes me want
to respond No, trademarks are not software.  Perhaps in an ideal
world we would be saying that the DSFG applies as cleanly to trademark
issues as it does to copyright issues, but in reality it is not the
case. The stance that we do not allow the use of any trademarks in
Debian would be an insane stance to take, once you realize how many
trademarks are in Debian already.  MySQL is trademarked, OpenGL is
trademarked, we mention Microsoft, Apple, and probably a number of other
companies.  Python is trademarked, mono is trademarked.  For that matter
Linux and Debian are trademarked.  We clearly are not going to either
remove all this software or rename it.  We ARE going to be using
trademarks that other entities have some legal control over.  Since this
puts us in the position of having external entities having some legal
control over what we do with our software, this is in tension with the
DFSG which tries to make sure I have complete control over the software
in Debian.

I believe we are going to have to make decisions about what to do about
a trademark we are using once a trademark owner notifies us that we are
using their trademarks in ways which they don't approve of, as it is
happening in this case with the GNOME marks, and once we are notified,
decide how we react.  In some cases, we should be able to dismiss a
trademark owner's claims entirely.  Although someone owns the Git
trademark, since our use of git is not likely to cause confusion to
people, we don't have to worry of our use as infringing.  In other cases
we might decide that our use of their mark falls under fair use and
thus not infringing. 

When we are contacted by a owner of a trademark on which we believe we
are infringing, the safest thing for us to do legally is to cease all
use of the mark.  The easiest thing for us to do is to ignore their
claim.  We'll need to figure out where we want to land between these two
extremes, and here again, there is tension.  I don't believe it is as
simple as you state it: ...that seems like something that will have to
stop if the GNOME foot is not free software because of some restrictive
TM license.  Because by that argument tells us that we have to rename
all GNOME software, since the trademark license is restrictive about how
we use GNOME.

I think it is clear in the case of the foot/swirl icon, which has been
definitively identified as infringing on their mark in a way which is
objectionable to the owners of the mark, we should cease the
distribution and/or use of this icon.  There perhaps is little tension
here. When they tell us that our non-compliance with their trademark
policy in areas like using GNOME in all lowercase letters is
objectionable, there will be considerable trouble in resolving this.

 
 It disappoints me when free software projects use proprietary frosting
 to restrict user freedom, but it seems like an old chestnut rather
 than a new problem requiring a new GR.

Since we are in the position of having to decide on multiple different
outcomes, none of which are 100% desirable, and that this is not likely
to be the last time that such a situation will arise, I believe it might
be wise to reach a consensus about how the project wants to handle these
situations. The best means to do this might be to memorialize this using
a GR.

p.s. You used the term old chestnut twice.  If is some kind of
colloquialism that might carry additional meaning, it is not one I'm
familiar with,

 default, Debian installs it with a blank password. To set your MySQL root
 password, issue the following command: dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0.
 You've been warned!

I have two problems, one is that debian doesn't not default to installing with
a blank password, the other is that mysql-server-5.0 is not a package that is
currently in debian.

 Sure, it assumes sshd to be installed: that's the hole point of the
 script! Do you think it should be made more explicit? If so, please
 suggest something else that what is already in the Debconf template:
 

This doesn't seem to be the whole point of the script.  The script is
doing several things.  But in any case, if this script needs to be run
to complete the installation of this package, and this script cannot
execute without openssh-server installed, then you need to depend on
openssh-server.


  The script does a poor job of interpreting /etc/ssh/sshd_config:  
  grep AllowTcpForwarding no /etc/ssh/sshd_config
  is not a reliable way to see if TCPForwarding is disabled. If that fails, 
  then
  grep AllowTcpForwarding /etc/ssh/sshd_config
  is not a reliable way to see if TCPForwarding is enabled.
 
 Remember that the goal is to provide a helper to quickly disable port
 forwarding. It does work on a freshly installed server. I don't mind
 improving the script if you can think of improvements. How would you do
 it then?

Do you understand why these are currently inadequate?  If so, I'd hope
they'd be trivial to imporove.

  The script checks to see what stuff might exist in /usr/share/dtc-xen-os, 
  which
  doesn't seem to be a directory in any debian package.  I don't seem to find 
  any
  documentation that tells me what might go there.
 
 The /usr/share/dtc-xen-os is a repository of OS templates that can be
 installed automatically by dtc-xen (see man dtc_reinstall_os,
 particularly the -os option). Of course, these aren't available in
 Debian, I don't see the security team doing the security updates of
 other distributions (and frankly, the images we provide are on the best
 effort basis, some should be upgraded).
 

dtc_reinstall_os would download them?  how do I do that?  Am I to
understand that I would run dtc_reinstall_os with some parameters after
installing the package, but before running dtc-xen_finish_install?  If
so, shouldn't this be mentioned somewhere?  (If it is, please show me where).

  Then you tell the user that they should add a sources.list entry for a third
  party repsitory which seems to have packages for lenny ?!?  Why is this.  
  Are
  there packages in this repository that are needed for using dtc-xen?
 
 Yes, see above. The packages in the repository for Lenny are working
 without any issue in any Debian release anyway, it's just some tar.gz
 and some tiny scripts to do the setup of these images.

Is it the case that we can expect any user of this software to want
those scripts and .tar.gzs?

 
  It appears that since /usr/share/dtc-xen-os doens't exist, you will then 
  tell the user to run:
  apt-get install
  
  Which seems rather pointless.  were you going to tell them to apt-get 
  update?
  apt-key add?
 
 The idea is to give pointers to the user that there are some image
 templates available. I agree that the message needs to be updated, and I
 will. But now, do you really think that an administrator wouldn't know
 how to use apt?

Well, the rest of this script is making assumptions that given pointers
the administrator isn't able to make changes to sudoers or sshd_config,
so, I dunno, you tell me.

 Are we doing a cat and mouse game here? I will reiterate: what is your

 would also remove any commented out directive. A sed -i wouldn't be any
 better to me. I can't think of any solution that would be 100% clean,
 and this never has been the goal anyway. It's just a time saver, and
 also points to the administrator what should be done. In fact, I would
 expect an experienced administrator to have a look to the script
 content. Maybe that's a wrong assumption?

Please reread my concern.  Its not what you are doing to modify the
file, but how you are determining if you think the file should be
modified.  I think if you are not even trying to do this accurately, you
should not attempt to modify a file like sshd_config.

 
  The /usr/share/dtc-xen-os is a repository of OS templates that can be

 No. What you'd do would be adding the repository where the templates
 are, then install them in your system. For example:
 
 apt-get install dtc-xen-os-ubuntu-amd64-9.04 dtc-xen-os-suse-11.1-x86-64
 dtc-xen-os-netbsd5-amd64 dtc-xen-os-elastix-centos5.5-amd64
 

So you suggest to the user what 3rd party pacakge they should install by
inspecting a directory which is only created by installing the 3rd party
packages?  This doesn't make sense to me.

  It appears that since /usr/share/dtc-xen-os doens't exist, you will then 
  tell the user to run:
  apt-get install
 
  Which seems rather pointless.  were you going to tell them to apt-get

ok, but why would you tell, even someone that knows how to use apt to
run apt-get install with no package names?

 The script is just there to do things faster than with a text editor.
 It's a helper, nothing more. It's not designed to be very clean either.
 You don't have to use it if you don't feel like it. Doing things by
 hand is ok too.

If its not trying to do things cleanly, please don't edit files like
/etc/sudoers and /etc/ssh/sshd_config.  This seems like instructions
that should just go into README.Debian.

If it is the case that You dont have to use it, why do you tell the
user via debconf that this is a script that you need to run?

 
 But one thing for sure: if you are granting access to virtual machines
 to untrusted users, you should avoid at all costs to enable the sudoers
 thing (which opens the ssh for the virtual users) without removing the
 port forwarding, because that's a security issue (using port forwarding,
 you can access the tty1 of another VM, and do all sorts of nasty things).
 

And since you are not designing the script to do the second accurately,
please do not do the first.

 By the way, I've added more echo in the script to explain the above, and
 to suggest the administrator to inspect the result. Please have a look
 to the new version, and let me know what you think:

 I'd like to avoid editing the dtc-xen Debconf template if possible,
 because that means a lot of work for translators.

Bug#633615: dtc-xen: vgdisplay_free_size is either useless or broken

2011-07-11 Thread Mike O'Connor
Package: dtc-xen
Version: 0.5.14-1
Severity: minor

I cannot figure out why /usr/sbin/vgdisplay_free_size is useful.  
It assumes that you have a lvm named lvm1?

I don't see anything in dtc-xen that creates a lvm1.  The only other reference 
I see is that the fsckVPSpartition verb in the SOAP server also seems to make 
the same assumption that you have lvm1.  (Do we assume this is also broken).

I do see that vgdisplay_free_size is called by the SOAP sever in the 
getFreeSpace function.

If this command is really supposed to be called by the SOAP server and not by 
the system administrator, it should be in /usr/lib, not /usr/sbin

Bug#633616: dtc-xen_finish_install is suspect

2011-07-11 Thread Mike O'Connor
Package: dtc-xen
Version: 0.5.14-1
Severity: normal

I find a number of issues with /usr/sbin/dtc-xen_finish_install

The user is told via debconf that this script should be run to finish the
install of dtc-xen.  This script however seems to do I bunch of things that I
find suspect.

chown root:xenusers /usr/bin/dtc-xen_userconsole
chmod -s /usr/bin/dtc-xen_userconsole

Why are we doing this?  did you mean /bin/dtc-xen_userconsole?  Even if you 
did, what is the point of changing the group owner?  (afaict this doesn't give 
the group any extra privileges, since it is 0644 anyway)

It assumes I have ssh installed.  If I don't, the script terminates early with
an error.

The script does a poor job of interpreting /etc/ssh/sshd_config:  
grep AllowTcpForwarding no /etc/ssh/sshd_config
is not a reliable way to see if TCPForwarding is disabled. If that fails, then
grep AllowTcpForwarding /etc/ssh/sshd_config
is not a reliable way to see if TCPForwarding is enabled.

The script checks to see what stuff might exist in /usr/share/dtc-xen-os, which
doesn't seem to be a directory in any debian package.  I don't seem to find any
documentation that tells me what might go there.

Then you tell the user that they should add a sources.list entry for a third
party repsitory which seems to have packages for lenny ?!?  Why is this.  Are
there packages in this repository that are needed for using dtc-xen?

It appears that since /usr/share/dtc-xen-os doens't exist, you will then tell 
the user to run:
apt-get install

Which seems rather pointless.  were you going to tell them to apt-get update?
apt-key add?

Bug#632142: reassign to emacs23

2011-07-10 Thread Mike O'Connor
reassign 632142 emacs23
thanks

So the problem here is really that cedet, speedbar, eieio are now
implemented by emacs directly.  These packages, which are no longer in
testing/unstable, should not have targetted emacs23.  But since that cat
is already out of the bag, the easiest way to avoid this problem in the
future would probably be for emacs23 to conflict with these older
packages, which will help avoid this problem for people upgrading from
squeeze to wheezy.

Therefore, I'm reassigning this bug from ecb to emacs23.

Thanks,

2011-07-06 Thread Mike O'Connor
When you say Installing ecb results in a broken package due to several
errors regarding missing libs from CEDET (though all such packages are
installed) What packages do you mean?  CEDET is part of emacs, so there
should be no additional packages.  Do you have cedet packages installed
From stable or oldstable?  Perhaps I need to Conflict with those.

Do you have a cedet directory in /usr/share/emacs23/site-lisp ?

Bug#630830: xorg: licenses / copyright statements missing from copyright file

2011-06-17 Thread Mike O'Connor
Source: xorg
Version: 1:7.6+7
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 12.5


The debian/copyright for this package is confusing to me.  It seems to try to
indicate that the copyright holder of this software changes depending on
whether this is a debian or a ubuntu package?  Can this be clarified?

There are licenses in the source code which are not present in
debian/copyright.  For example,  much of the software is GPL-2 licensed, but
there is no mention of the GPL-2.

There seem to be many copyright holders which should be listed in
debian/copyright which are not.

xsf-docs/COPYING specifies a copyright holder which MUST be mentioned in
debian/copyright in order to comply with the distribution license:

Bug#630551: ifupdown: please don't include network and broadcast in example configurations

2011-06-14 Thread Mike O'Connor
Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.10
Severity: wishlist


one of the first examples in
/usr/share/doc/ifupdown/exmamples/network-interfaces.gz is:

# auto eth0
# iface eth0 inet static
# address 192.168.0.42
# network 192.168.0.0
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# broadcast 192.168.0.255
# gateway 192.168.0.1
 
I think we should be removing network and broadcast from these examples.
These addresses should be calculated correctly except in cases where the user
is doing sometihng so very non-standard that they know enough to find these
options on their own.  Showing these settings to the casual user risks making
the casual user think that they should be specifying these options, which are
almost never ever needed, and therefore needlessly introducing a place to make
errors.

thanks,
stew

Since the maintainer of this package seems MIA, and hasn't responded to

hijack this package.  

I've sent the maintainer a private email, and I uploaded a fix to

The functionality of notmuchsync has now been integrated into notmuch itself as

 Well maybe this one is fixed anyway.

This bug was automatically closed when the package it was assigned to
(yaird) was removed from debian.  Since the software this bug pertains
to is no longer in debian, there is no reason for this bug to remain
open. 

If you think that this bug is still existant in debian, and is still
reproducable with software in debian, please reassign the bug to the

Bug#610338: psi-plus: contains non-free icons; inadequate copyright file

2011-01-17 Thread Mike O'Connor
Source: psi-plus
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1, Policy 12.5


There are many files which are LGPL-2.1+ and many files which are GPL2+, your
debian/copyight is not accurate about this saying only that the software is
LGPL-2+ and pointing to GPL instead of the LGPL

--

I noticed that many of the icons in in the iconsets-psi-plus directory appear
to be taken from non-free from various websites.  For example, the icondef.xml
file inside iconsets-psi-plus/affiliations/vista-halloween-affiliations.jisp
reads:

  Based on Vista halloween Icons by Icons Land.

This appears to be 
http://icons-land.com/vista-style-halloween-pumpkin-emoticons.php
The icons look to be identical copies which have been resized. 

Other icon sets appear to be creative commons licensed, for example,
smileys-affiliations/icondef.xml refers to http://p.yusukekamiyamane.com/ as
the source, and this site is claiming the icons to be under creative commons  
which is not mentioned in debian/copyright

I worry about the lack of a license for the icons which just claim to have been
found on iconfinder.com, as that site constains many non-free icons.

iconsets-psi-plus/emoticons/Android.jisp contains icons from the android 
project which is apache licensed, but this license isn't mentioned in 
debian/copyright

iconsets-psi-plus/emoticons/kolobok* is non-free.  There is a copyright file 
inside the .jisp files which is clearly non-free, and is also not included in 
debian/copyright

At this point I stopped looking at licenses of the iconsets.  It is quite clear 
that many of them are taking from non-free sources.  Some might be 
redistributable and free, but with licenses not mentioned in debian/copyright.

---

iris/src/jdns is MIT licensed, but this isn't mentioned in debian/copyright

---

src/tools/crash/crash_sigsev* contains a license not mentioned in 
debian/copyright

---

third-party/qca/qca/src/botantools contains multiple licenses not mentioned in
debian/copyright

---

I stop at this point.   I didn't fully audit the source code, but it is clearly 
needed.

The configuration created by gadmin-openvpn-server contains these two lines:

I don't see any way to change this from a client perspective.  Logfiles should

Bug#594519: More info

2010-09-27 Thread Mike O'Connor
retitle 594519 multiple copyright problems make software non-redistributable as 
currently packaged
thanks

I encouraged the submitter to submit this bug after he raised concerns
on IRC about some of software in this package.  I thought that I'd
better take a closer look at this source myself, and I immediately found
multiple problems related to the licenses/copyrights of this software
package.  The problem originally reported by the submitter appears to be
a valid concern for upstream.  There are also errors in the
debian/copyright file which should be addressed by the maintainers with
the next upload.  I found many instances where copyright holders were
missing from debian/copyright when the BSD like license requires that
they be present.  There are multiple flavors of the BSD license which
should be explicitly present in debian/copyright.  There were files
which were GPL v2 only and files which were GPL v3 only where
debian/copyright simply said GPL.  I haven't closely enough to
determine if software from these two incompatible licenses is beiong
used in such a way as to produce non-redistributable binaries.

I don't have time to make a full source code audit of this source
package immediately, but one needs to be done.

Thanks,
stew

Bug#584383: Not pending, disappeared from NEW ?

2010-09-23 Thread Mike O'Connor
I rejected titantools with a message saying that because of a bug in
dak, we are unable to easily handle non-sourceful uploads that move a
package from main to non-free.  As we are bogged down with other stuff,
the quickest way to get titantools through new is going to be making a
sourceful upload.

My suggestion is to build with the same .orig.tar.gz but with an
artificial version bump in order to make it appear to be a new upstream
version.  so perhaps 4.0.11+notdfsg0 or something (creating a
4.0.11+notdfsg0-1 debian version).

Sorry for the inconvenience.

 Hi dear titantools maintainers, 
 
 From what I could gather from the NEW log, it seems that there was once a 
 titantools 4.0.11-7 in NEW, that was supposed to fix this RC bug:
 
 * Makefile.linux: Do not build noshell as a static binary as this
  does not gain anything and leads to a FTBFS in amd64 (Closes: 584383)
 
 My RSS tells me that titantools 4.0.11-7 left NEW on 04.09.2010 02:00, but 
 I 
 can't get a trace of that anywhere on the packages.qa.d.o, on the buildd or 
 on 
 the archive (CC'ing ftpmaster to get a enlightening on that).
 
 So #584383 is still to be fixed.
 
 Cheers, OdyX
