Package: nntp
Version: 1.5.12.1-19.1
Severity: serious
Justification: non-free files in main

Hi,

the file server/xindex.c has the following copyright notice:

    (c) Copyright 1992 by Iain Lea
    You may  freely  copy or  redistribute  this software,
    so  long as there is no profit made from its use, sale
    trade or  reproduction.  You may not change this copy-
    right notice, and it must be included in any copy made

This does violate DFSG #6 (No Discrimination Against Fields of
Endeavor).

The package does not use the file[1], so it should be safe to remove.

I'll create an updated package fixing this and #502829.

Regards,
Ansgar

Hi,

The nntp package has been removed from unstable (see #503240), so I am
closing all bug reports filed for the package.

Regards,
Ansgar
