Bug#741196: License incompatibility below RC threshold

[Niels Thykier]

Hi FTP masters,

We have been prodded about the severity of #741196 (see below for the
prod).  However, being a license interpretation issue, we would like to
defer the judgement to you on this one (suggested in comment #39).
  You may find the mail from Russ Allbery at [1] relevant for narrowing
down the possible issue (which is AFAICT a "choice of venue" clause).

If you believe this is (or might be) a grave issue, please upgrade the
severity at your earliest convenience and notify us.

Thank you,
~Niels
