Package: libtdb1 Version: 1.0.6-11 Severity: normal Basically, the broken-out libtdb at [1] records itself as LGPL, in tdb.c ([2]), and that's been true for every revision of tdb.c in this directory in SVN. (This package predates the SVN repository, so I guess this is a historical oversight.)
This is not a higher severity since it's not legally wrong to relicense LGPL programs as GPL (as far as I know) but it does mean the libtdb1 package in Debian is more limited in usability (eg. cannot be linked in in combination with OpenSSL) so I've marked this as normal rather than wishlist. There is however a problem as the tdb tools in the above directory _are_ still marked as GPL, although Tridge just said (at linux.conf.au 2005) that he believes tdb is LGPL, so I suspect this is an upstream oversight, and in fact tdbtorture includes no license text at all. Any chance of a fix before Sarge? I'm happy to take a stab at this upstream if the maintainer does not wish to. (I've just seen tdb and ldb at linux.conf.au 2005 and I've been left well and truly drooling. ^_^) [1] http://websvn.samba.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/branches/SAMBA_3_0_RELEASE/source/tdb/?rev=6426 [2] http://websvn.samba.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/branches/SAMBA_3_0_RELEASE/source/tdb/tdb.c?rev=6369&view=auto -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (900, 'experimental'), (900, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10 Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libtdb1 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
