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

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).

Nov 9 2017, 21:23 · Freedom-harm: license not FSF-compliant
jonas.smedegaard reassigned T49: cron - contains a file licensed too vaguely for FSF from jonas.smedegaard to mak.

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+.

When I tested pi-hole it demolished my machines network configuration making it unable to connect to network at all while uninstall script failed badly so I needed manually to hunt down changes and remove them...
While good idea, still not mature for prime time.
