Source: cpl-plugin-sinfo
Severity: serious
Hi. cpl-plugin-sinfo is using some numerical routines from numerical
recipes. These are NOT free software and may not be used in a free
software project.
For Debian, you can elide these sources. It would also be great if you
talked to upstream so that they stop violating copyrights also.
Look at sinfo_svd_compare() in
sinfoni/sinfo_svd.c
A later version of the book chapter this function came from lives here:
http://numerical.recipes/webnotes/nr3web2.pdf
You can see many similarities. If you look at the older version of the
book, you will see 100% similarities.
The copyright statement is here:
http://numerical.recipes/public-domain.html
I haven't done a thorough search, and it's possible SVD implementation
isn't the only violation here. It would be great if you looked more
thoroughly.
Thanks
