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.
