Package: libgdal1
Version: 1.9.0-3.1+b2
Severity: important
>From gdal's PROVENANCE.TXT (a very helpful file for debian maintainers):
== Outstanding Issues ==
In gdal/data we have several coordinate system dictionary files derived in one fashion or another from other source (via translation scripts):
* gdal/data/cubewerx_extra.wkt: derived from definitions distributed by Cubewerx, rights unclear. See http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2165
* gdal/data/ecw_cs.dat: Derived via much processing from ERMapper GDT definitions, rights unclear. See http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2162
* gdal/data/esri_extra.wkt: Derived with some processing from projections definitions in ArcGIS, rights unclear. See http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2163
This means gdal probably needs a dfsg-repackaging to exclude those files.
Regards,
Jérémy.
