[Bug 1644595] Re: krb5-1.13.2+dfsg-5 source contains source subject to the aladdin license

[Robie Basak]

I cannot find the license claim mentioned. In the source for krb5
1.13.2+dfsg-5, I see src/ccapi/common/win/OldCC/autolock.hxx but it
appears to have a regular MIT-style license boilerplate. It has
sha256sum
02d63ce54f142101910143464f9eea3935f7d478e4e32998f5ba02cf8ffddc61. I also
grepped for Aladdin (case insenstive) and nothing came up. Are you sure
you don't have some local filesystem corruption or something like that?
Can you confirm with "pull-lp-source" on a different system that you can
pull the source file with the license you found, and provide the top
line of the debian/changelog file in that source tree?

Marking Incomplete as I cannot find any evidence of a license problem in
the source itself.

** Changed in: krb5 (Ubuntu)

Title:
  krb5-1.13.2+dfsg-5 source contains source subject to the aladdin
  license

Status in krb5 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The krb5-1.13.2+dfsg-5 package source contains a file autolock.hxx  in
  the directory
  krb5-1.13.2+dfsg-5\krb5_1.13.2+dfsg.orig\krb5-1.13.2+dfsg\src\ccapi\common\win\OldCC.
  Although not declared in any other licensing file for this package the
  file contains comments indicating its subject to the Aladdin license
  which has implications for any commercial distribution of the
  software, specifically:

  “2(a) Distribution of the Program or any work based on the Program by
  a commercial organization to any third party is prohibited if any
  payment is made in connection with such distribution, whether directly
  (as in payment for a copy fo the Program) or indirectly (as in payment
  for some service related to the Program, or payment for some product
  or service that includes a copy of the Program ‘without charge’ . . .”

  This file clearly is not needed or used for any Linux build as it
  appears specific to windows.
