[DRE-maint] Bug#574142: merb: Contains non DFSG conform stuff

[Alexander Reichle-Schmehl]

Package: merb
Version: 1.0.12+dfsg-2
Severity: serious


Hi maintainers!

It seems, that the Academic Free License, under which terms parts of your 
package are licensed, is non free according to the DFSG.

See for example http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/10/msg00237.html
and http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/10/msg00240.html.  Note, that
while the discussion was about an older version of that license, the
problematic parts seem not be changed in version 3.0.


Best regards,
  Alexander
