[pkg-db-devel] Bug#720159: db6.0: New licencing incompatible with the old one [don't migrate to testing]

[Ondřej Surý]

Package: db6.0
Version: 6.0.19-3
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
Justification: maintainer request

The licensing of DB 6.0 suffers from two problems:

 * Upstream claims that DB 6.0 is licensed under AGPLv3, but the
   package doesn't reflect that yet

 * AGPLv3 is not compatible with several licenses of packages using
   the Berkeley DB library

Thus this bug is a placeholder bug to stop the package to migrate
to testing, since we don't want our users to start using it.  We
still have the goal of "one Berkeley DB version per release", so
we are likely to stuck with Berkeley DB 5.3 for foreseable future.
