Dear FTP Masters, I've been asked by Julien Cristau (who reads this message in copy) to get a confirmation in an "authoritative statement from ftpmaster" that the CeCILL-C license is GPL-incompatible. As you can read above, I asked him to clarify what he is disagreeing about, but I haven't received any reply. Please read the full #741196 bug log, if you need more context. If you agree with me that CeCILL-C is GPL-incompatible, then I think that the severity of bug #741196 should be raised again to "serious" and its "moreinfo" tag should be removed. Could you please express your opinion? Thanks for your time!
