Non-DFSG compliant images in the Tails OpenPGP Applet
SVG Images included in the Tails OpenPGP Applet are licensed under CC-BY-SA 2.0. PNG licensing is unclear.
This license is not compatible with DFSG and this is usually considered
a Serious bug by debian.
Theses images seem to be modified from the Tango Icon set, before it was
released to public domain.
According to intrigeri (see #6507 (closed)) :
I think these files were initially imported from seahorse-plugins 2.30.1-3 (commit df9d7209). I’ve checked its source, and it indeed lacks provision for the license these files are under.
Options :
- Convince upstream to relicense these images
- Modify these and use clause 4b of CC-BY-SA 2.0 to upgrade the license to a later version (3.0 is fine)
- redo these from a more recent Tango icon set (in the public domain)
Other packages from Debian seem affected : https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/08/msg00073.html.
