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

Status in Kerberos:
  Fix Released
Status in krb5 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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.
