Bug#645825: Possible DFSG Violation In Bogofilter

2011-10-18 Thread Jason Self
Package: bogofilter
Version: 1.2.2-2

Bogofilter include some documenttation under a license that doesn't permit 
modification or commercial use.

Specifically, the files say:

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons
Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs German License. To view a copy of
this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/de/
or send a letter to Creative Commons; 559 Nathan Abbott Way;
Stanford, California 94305; USA.

The files in question are in the /doc directory and are:

bogofilter-SA-2005-01
bogofilter-SA-2005-02  
bogofilter-SA-2010-01

This also appear to impact version 1.1.7. Other versions may be as well.

If commercial use and modification are not permitted, is it a violation of the 
DFSG?

That's indeed the case. The problematic files are not shipped in the binary
packages. I'll repack the Debian source package to not include them either.

cheers,
