Bug Description
Imported from Debian bug http://
Package: emboss
Version: 6.4.0-4
Severity: serious
As discussed in the following message, EMBOSS contains non-free data.
https://<email address hidden>
We need to consider short- and long-term solutions to this problem. For the
short-term solution, I think that I will not have time to split free and
non-free parts of EMBOSS, so we need again to consider to move it altogether to
non-free. In contrary to the UniProt files which were in the test suite, the
Gene Ontology files are needed by EMBOSS to run some of its programs.
For the long-term solution, does anybody here have good contacts with the Gene
Ontology community, and would have chances to advocate for a relicensing ?
Have a nice Sunday,
