Bug#465780: libsdl1.2debian: Contains code from XFree86 without LICENSE file

[Paul Gotch]

Package: libsdl1.2debian
Version: 1.2.11-8
Severity: normal


The SDL distribution contains code which appears to be taken from
XFree86 and refers to LICENSE file from XFree86 which is
not redistributed with SDL.

Specifically:

src/video/Xext/XME/xme.c
src/video/Xext/extensions/xme.h

This probably also applies to some other files in the src/video/Xext
directory which are pulled from XFree86 but don't actually have the
"refer to LICENSE file" text in them.

As far as I can tell the code is from the XFree 4.2.1 release. If this
is the case then the appropriate file can be found at

ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.2.1/LICENSE
