Bug#465056: grub-pc violates the GPL

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080209-1
Severity: critical

grub-pc is licenced under the GPLv3+ [1].

LZO 2.02 is licenced under the GPLv2 only.

This makes the current Debian package of grub-pc illegal.

Note:
Markus Oberhumer told me that the next LZO version 2.03
will be available under the GPLv2+.


[1] GPLv3+ = GPL version 3 or any later version
