Hi,

according to bug #876733, there is a licensing problem with jeuclid :
- the LICENSE.txt file [1] says Apache 2.0 ;
- the NOTICE file [2] looks like an Apache 1.0.

This RC bug will get jeuclid out of Debian, hence also scilab (which I
just moved from O to ITA).

My interpretation of the issue is that if there are two licenses on the
code, then as long as the necessary DFSG-rights are given, there is no
problem.

Notice that upstream seems unreactive since years now, so even though
I'm also opening a ticket there [3], moving forward not expecting an
answer seems the most reasonable course of action.

What do you think about the matter?
