Let me see if I understand. The reason this bug is not going to be
fixed is:
* Only some of the software distributed by Debian and Canonical under the GNU
General Public License Version 2 includes a clause that says you can use future
versions of that license AND
* Some of the libraries have converted to future versions of that license (e.g.
GNU General Public License Version 3.) AND
* In particular gmp-5.0.2+dfsg ("libgmp10") is licensed under LGPLv3 while it
is unproven if all of the software that links against it is compatible with
that license AND
* There is no automated system for tracking software license dependencies AND
* Such a system is not available due to lack of reliably-machine-readable
software license data AND
* A project known as DEP-5 ( http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ ) exists to
provide (develop) reliably-machine-readable software license data AND
* If DEP-5 were completed all it would provide is detailed knowledge about
software license interactions so that the areas which need work could be
identified.
Please correct me if any of the above in this comment is not correct.
Thank you.
