elmerfem_5.4.1.dfsg-4_amd64.changes REJECTED

REJECT:

    Many files say:
    "All rights reserved. No part of this program may be used, reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means without the written permission of CSC."
    but there's no explicit statement from upstream about the license. CSC stands for Center for Scientific Computing (Finland), Copyright owners

     The GLP library is distributed under the terms of the GNU Library
     General Public License which is described in the file "COPYING.LIB".

     On Debian systems, the complete text of the GNU Library General Public License
     Version 2 (the last version with "Library" in its name) can be found in file
     "/usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL-2".

     There is no COPYING.LIB so upstream doesn't clearly says which LGPL
     they're referring to. According to copyright it seems to be LGPL2+, but it's
     not clear.

    I have the feeling that the extra condition about the line that has to
    be included in copyright output might be not compatible with GPL, under which
    the main program is licensed.

bye,
stew
