Hi,
Could you please clarify the license of:
demos/svg/xhtml/dat/face-crying.svg
claimed on source to be cc-by-nc-sa, thus non free.
If it is really a non free image please purge these files.
If it is a false positive please override like in
http://sources.debian.net/src/freecad/0.14.3702%2Bdfsg-3/debian/source/lintian-overrides/
and add a changelog entry and a full explanation on debian/copyright. You may
ask upstream to remove this cc-by-sa-nc tag on the svg file

Hello Bastien,
Thank you for pointing this out. It looks like we can replace it with
/usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/emotes/face-crying.svg, which is
essentially the same icon by same author, but appears to be (slightly?)
better off license-wise - it carries the CC Public Domain
Certification [0], although that license appears to be discouraged.
For what it's worth, other folks have neglected to look at the metadata
in the file itself as well. For example, this page [1] claims public
domain (and the file history claims cc-by-sa-2.5), but downloading the
48x48 file shows that it's the same file that you detected in
xhtmlrenderer, carrying the cc-by-nc-sa license.
For the Java Team, it also appears that xhtmlrenderer has been renamed
to flyingsaucer [2], so we may want to do a sourceful transition once
this bug is addressed.
Cheers,
tony
