Hello, According to Lintian, there is a problem with this file, which is licensed by Unicode: Tag: license-problem-convert-utf-code Severity: serious Certainty: possible Info: The following file source files include material under a non-free license from Unicode Inc. Therefore, it is not possible to ship this in main or contrib. . This license does not grant any permission to modify the files (thus failing DFSG#3). Moreover, the license grant to attempt to restrict use to "products supporting the Unicode Standard" (thus failing DFSG#6). . In this case a solution is to use libicu and to remove this code by repacking. . If this is a false-positive, please report a bug against Lintian. Ref: #823100 The bug report referenced (#823100) has more discussion on this point. I'm also going to drop a line to the upstream maintainers to see whether they could write their own replacement for this pair of files, or liaise with the Unicode Consortium to relicense them. Best wishes, Julian
