[Karl Goetz]

Package: blender
Severity: serious

Hi,
Someone has pointed out [1] that blender may have a dfsg violation in
the release/windows subtree.
In release/windows/ installer/02.copyright.txt and
release/windows/publ_installer/02.copyright.txt it contains text
detailing various restrictions in relation to "The software"

If you disagree this particular bunding is a problem, feel free to
downgrade this report, but the licence doesn't specify if it applies
only to binaries or not.

Also to note, it only affects stable, all recent releases have this
problem resolved.
thanks,
kk
