Bug#379458: zaptel: Non-DFSG firmware distributed with source!

[Jonas Smedegaard]

Package: zaptel
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.1

Several firmware files are included as binary-only within the source tarball:

    OCT6114-128D.ima
    xpp/utils/*.hex

Regarding the ones below xpp, they are covered by this file (which is *not* included in 
debian/copyright):

    xpp/LICENSE/firmware

That file permits redistribution but does not mention modification, which is a requirement of 
Debian Policy 2.1 ("Derived works").


I suggest repackaging the source tarball without the problematic files, and perhaps distributing 
them separately in non-free.


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
