Package: ntop Version: 3:4.99.3+ndpi5517+dfsg1-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.3
Hello, the debian/copyright file for the ntop Debian package states: [...] | Files: protocols.c | Copyright: 2003-2010, Luca Deri <d...@ntop.org> | 1994-1996, The Regents of the University of California | License: GPL-2+ and BSD-4-clause [...] According to the machine-readable debian/copyright file format specification version 1.0 [1], this means that the file protocols.c has both GPL-licensed and 4-clause-BSD-licensed code in it. [1] http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ If this is the case, then protocols.c seems to be undistributable, since the 4-clause BSD is GPL-incompatible. Please clarify and/or fix this issue. I see that protocols.c is in part copyrighted by The Regents of the University of California: I suppose that the part which is under the terms of the 4-clause BSD license is copyrighted by the University of California. If this is indeed confirmed, then, please check whether that part originally comes from some version of the Berkeley Software Distribution, since maybe the corresponding re-licensing [2] could automatically apply...
