Package: libpurple0
Version: 2.14.12-1
Severity: serious
Hi,
libirc.so and libjabber.so.0.0.0 depend 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-2+ (as far as
I can see the mentioned libraries' license). There are several possible solutions to this problem:
1) Build with --disable-cyrus-sasl configuration and get rid of the libsasl2
(Build-)Dependencies.
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
