Package: pdns
Version: 3.1-4
Severity: wishlist
Due to the recent discussions on d-devel about potential licensing issues with
Affero GPL licensed libraries, I decided to see if there were any current
issues similar to the ones discussed. pdns ALMOST has such a problem. It is
licensed GPL V2 and mongodb is AGPL V3. These licenses are not compatible, so
if you re-enable the mongodb module, the binaries won't be distributable.
Since that backend is currently disabled, there isn't an immediate problem,
which is why I'm filing this as wishlist. I would suggest removing the
build-dep on mongodb-dev and not including the back end in the future.
