Package: gnustep-gui-common
Severity: serious
Justification: DFSG non-free
Whilst processing gnustep-gui-0.14.0 in NEW, the following was found in
Images/GNUstep_Images_Copyright
=============================================================================
Images may be used by developers for the creation of Freely
distributable software to run under any OpenStep environment
*INCLUDING* GNUstep. Note that apps using these images may not need to
be distributed under the GPL, but be freely distributed in at least
binary form.
If you have a special requirement or need images or design help with
any GNUstep project please feel free to contact me and I will russle
something up for you as quickly as I can to integrate into your
project.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conditions of use:
No image may be visually modified in any way without express
permission of the designer
(http://www.gnustep.org/UserSuite/UserSuite.html) My efforts here are
to keep GNUstep elegant and I don't want to waste my time with people
mucking things up -- sorry if this offends you.
Images must only be used for the development of application software
for free deployment under OpenStep *AND* it must compile and run for
GNUstep.
=============================================================================
A quick check of the packages already in the archive shows that this
license is also present in the versions in etch, lenny, sid and
experimental, hence this bug.
Thanks,
Mark
