jonas.smedegaard renamed Freedom-harm: license not Debian-compliant from Debian-compliant license to Freedom-harm: license not Debian-compliant.

jonas.smedegaard renamed Freedom-harm: enhanced by nonfree code from enhanced by nonfree code to Freedom-harm: enhanced by nonfree code.

jonas.smedegaard changed the status of T49: cron - contains a file licensed too vaguely for FSF from Resolved to Invalid.

Changing status to "invalid", more appropriate for the task as a whole (arguably I should've created a subtask for the package removal which is indeed "done" by now).

jonas.smedegaard changed the status of T92: hashcat: fallback-depends on virtual package opencl-icd which covers nonfree implementations from Resolved to Invalid.

This is not a Freedom issue: It does not fallback-depend on any nonfree implementation but on the virtual package representing any implementation, so does not promote nonfree stuff (even at the stretched levels of suggesting or even mention).

Please drop derived cron package: There is no need for deriving from Debian (issue is bogus).

Nov 9 2017, 21:22 · Freedom-harm: license not FSF-compliant
jonas.smedegaard changed the status of T49: cron - contains a file licensed too vaguely for FSF from Resolved to Invalid.

This issue is bogus: It is correct for metadata to describe license as Artistic, but code itself is licensed "same as Perl" which means dual-licensing as _either_ Artistic or GPL-1+.
