Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linuxsampler

Per Debian Bug #328121 
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=328121), the package is 
unfree (because it disallows commercial distribution), but Debian and Ubuntu 
don't report this.  Specifically, 
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/l/linuxsampler/linuxsampler_0.3.2.99+0.3.3-cvs-0ubuntu1/linuxsampler.copyright
 says "This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version." but the actual README in the upstream 
distribution says "This software is distributed under the GNU General Public 
License (see
COPYING file), and may not be used in commercial applications without asking
the authors for permission."  Even if this still qualifies for universe (I 
don't think it should), this limit should be included in the package copyright 
info.

Thanks to gNewSense (http://www.gnewsense.org/Universe/Universe) for
pointing this out.
