Source: qemu
Version: 1:7.2+dfsg-6
Severity: serious

Hi,

the qemu-system-* binaries depends on libsasl2-2, which is licensed under CMU's BSD-3-Clause-Attribution license and covered by the RSA-MD license. They have clauses in place, which are known to be incompatible with GPL (as far as I can see the mentioned binaries' license). There are several possible solutions to this problem:

1) Build without VNC SASL support. Just get rid of the Build-Dependency 
libsasl2-dev.

2) Support my request at #996892.

3) Ask upstream to add a license exception for libsasl2-2, similar to the one 
that was required by Debian for OpenSSL
for a long time.

Thanks for your consideration,
Bastian
