[pkg-kolab] Bug#361846: non-free license for core.schema

[Peter Eisentraut]

Package: openldap2.2
Severity: serious

The license for the file core.schema says:

The ftpmasters have recently rejected a package that contains another
schema file with identical license text, and there was no obvious
opposition to that decision on Debian legal [0], so the current
understanding seems to be that this license is not free.

I don't necessarily agree with all that, but this bug can serve as an
incentive to getting this issue resolved.
