[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#822382: There are two files with non-free source inside concavity (Was: Bug#822382: concavity: non-free files (NC))

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

as you can read below it was spotted that two files inside the concavity
source files that are considered as non-free by the Debian Free Software
Guidelines (DFSG).  The restriction to not selling the software makes it
non-free since for instance it is not possible for vendors trying to
sell the whole set of Debian packages on some media if there are these
two files on it.  As a consequence we need to remove concavity from
Debian if the license of these files can not be clarified (preferably
also as GPL-3+ as the rest of the code).

Kind regards

      Andreas.
