[Pkg-xmpp-devel] Bug#593799: Distributes DFSG non-free parts in source package

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

Package: libjs-jac
Severity: serious

jsjac includes a jsmin.c and its corresponding executable, that is
licensed as follows:

This has been already stated as non-free in other discussions in Debian.
Take a look at this thread, for example:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2010/03/msg00064.html

Since that is used for minification, there will be a regression or other
software must be used. There is, for example, yui-compressor,
libjavascript-packer-perl, and the PHP port of this last one in the
source code.

Probably, there will be a future upload using libjavascript-packer-perl
or a script using it.
