[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#807580: r-bioc-rtracklayer: src/ucsc/* is stolen from another project with non-DFSG free license

[Michael R. Crusoe]

Package: r-bioc-rtracklayer
Version: 1.30.1-1
Severity: important

Dear friends,

I am sorry to report that I have recently discovered that the meat of this
package is not under the Artistic-2.0 license as one might guess, but it from
another source with a non-DFSG license.

src/ucsc/* is cobbled together from src/lib/*, src/inc/*, and src/utils/* from
http://genome-source.cse.ucsc.edu/gitweb/?p=kent.git;a=tree;f=src;h=5c83e0e5dd23c4a1cbe330db3be7dc7fe72c8251;hb=HEAD

The license for that project is: "All files are copyrighted, but license is
hereby granted for personal, academic, and non-profit use.  A license is also
granted for the contents of the src/lib, src/inc and src/utils and python
directories for commercial users."
http://genome-source.cse.ucsc.edu/gitweb/?p=kent.git;a=blob_plain;f=README;hb=HEAD

This license mail fail the DFSG guidelines. It doesn't explicitly permit
derived works and it does not automatically apply to redistributions.
