Package: libagg-dev
Version: 2.5-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

According to 
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/a/agg/agg_2.5-1/libagg-dev.copyright

agg is licensed as:

  Anti-Grain Geometry - Version 2.0
  Copyright (C) 2002-2004 Maxim Shemanarev (McSeem)

  Permission to copy, use, modify, sell and distribute this software 
  is granted provided this copyright notice appears in all copies. 
  This software is provided "as is" without express or implied
  warranty, and with no claim as to its suitability for any purpose.

However, my understanding is that since version 2.5 AGG is now licensed 
under the GPL; see http://www.antigrain.com/license/index.html

I suggest that the copyright file should be updated.

You might also like to clarify whether the "GPC" code is included in 
this package.  It seems to me that it is included.  See the antigrain 
license page linked above.  The GPC code has a "free for non-commerical 
use" license, which I suspect is not Debian-compatible.

Regards, Phil.
