Bug#879564: libauthen-cas-client-perl: Unusable "license" in version 0.08 (not in Debian)

[Damyan Ivanov]

Package: src:libauthen-cas-client-perl
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Forwarded: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=122237

Upstream has changed the license of Authen-CAS-Client to the following:

  This software is information.
  It is subject only to local laws of physics.

This seems to me not to be distributable by Debian. Luckily, the version 
we do ship (0.07) has the 'Expat' license.

I am filing this bug so that the issue becomes a bit more visible.

Maybe we shall consider removing this from Debian (popcon 222; vote 149); 
or maybe somebody would want to fork.

There is one reverse dependency, libapache2-authcassimple-perl (popcon 
21; vote 2), which has no reverse dependencies.
