Rejection of sabnzbplus

Unfortunately it is going to be necessary to reject sabnzbdplus.  There are 
three major flaws that must be corrected before it could be suitable for 
inclusion in the Ubuntu archive:

First, the package includes code that is licensed under the LGPL, but the 
upstream tarball does not include a copy of this license.  Contact upstream 
and ask them to add it.  If the will not, then you may repack the upstream 
tarball and add it yourself.

Second, interfaces/Plush/templates/static/javascripts/webtoolkit.aim.js is 
licensed as GPL version 2 only and so cannot be combined with the Apache 
licensed code also present in the package.

Third, the package includes an embedded code copy of cherrypy.  This package 
is in the archive, so the embedded copy must not be included in any binary 
package and the package patched to use the system cherrypy.

Finally, it's not a blocker, but the depends need work.  There is no package 
called python2.5-elementtree.  It is also extremely unlikey that the package 
required both elemttree and celementtree.  These dependencies should be 
adjusted to something like:

python2.5 | python-celementtree (>= 1.0.5) | python-elementtree (>= 1.2.6)
