Package: apt-howto Version: 1.7.7-3 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.2.1
The Debian documentation policy (http://www.debian.org/doc/docpolicy) reads: | All manuals of the Debian Documentation Project (DDP) will be released | under DFSG-compliant licenses On the other hand the APT HOWTO is released under the GNU FDL. Debian-legal consensus about the GFDL seems quite clear: it is *not* a license suitable for releasing DFSG-free software. The APT-HOWTO should be relicensed under a DFSG-compliant license. Refer to http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/11/msg00062.html and the thread that follows, for further details. I found out this license issue in Woody, but note that it still applies to current Sid package version (1.8.8.1). -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux neverland 2.4.27 #1 Mon Aug 9 23:52:28 CEST 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE= Versions of packages apt-howto depends on: ii apt-howto-en 1.7.7-3 A Guide to APT (English) ii apt-howto-es 1.7.7-3 A Guide to APT (Spanish) ii apt-howto-it 1.7.7-3 A Guide to APT (Italian) ii apt-howto-ko 1.7.7-3 A Guide to APT (Korean) ii apt-howto-pl 1.7.7-3 A Guide to APT (Polish) ii apt-howto-pt-br 1.7.7-3 A Guide to APT (Portuguese) ii apt-howto-ru 1.7.7-3 A Guide to APT (Russian)
