Yeah, I'm aware of the problem. Matthew, are you happy for me to
substitute a simple 2-clause BSD licence instead? I think you're
responsible for most of the bits of the patch that actually affect code
linked into ssh.

It has been replaced; the upstream copyright file is simply out of date.
They've done a licence audit in 3.7 which polishes this sort of thing
up.

It's so trivial it's hard to write a *really* different version,
but here's a tested, public-domain, implementation.

Note the slight interface change: the length is now a size_t, not
a u_int32_t. This doesn't break anything, and is the "right" type
for the size of a memory buffer.

Frankly, the original statement sure looks DFSG-free to me.
"You may use this program, or code or tables extracted from it, as
desired without restriction."

The only ambiguity is the definition of "use". Did the author mean
the narrow sense of "compile and run", or the broad sense of
"any use at all, including copying and distribution"?

Since the author clearly envisaged and permits derivative works ("code
or tables extracted from it"), it appears that the intention is the
broad sense.

(Note that ambiguity in contracts is resolved against the author of
the contract. This isn't a contract, due to the lack of consideration
on both sides, but the same principle seems to apply.)

But if somebody's going to get their panties in a bunch, "copyright
abandoned" should be clear enough.

I believe Matthew was going to contact debian-legal about it to try to
find a compromise between two options neither of which I fully
understand. :) I think he's away for Christmas now, though ...

In the copyright file, it is claimed that:

  The Debian patch is distributed under the terms of the GPL, which you
  can find in /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL.

If this is true, then there is a license conflict. ssh is linked with
libssl0.9.7, which is the openssl library. The terms of the GPL and
those of OpenSSL's license conflict and Debian does not consider OpenSSL
to fall under the "integral part of the system" exception. See -legal
for more information, or better yet, search the archives.

One of the copyright notices in the copyright file claims:

    The 32-bit CRC implementation in crc32.c is due to Gary S. Brown.
    Comments in the file indicate it may be used for any purpose without
    restrictions:

     * COPYRIGHT (C) 1986 Gary S. Brown. You may use this program, or
     * code or tables extracted from it, as desired without restriction.

which does *absolutely nothing* for Debian. Use (at least in the US) is
already explicitly permitted by copyright law. This grants us no rights
to distribute, modify, or copy, and so *fails* virtually every provision
of the DFSG. This code may have already been replaced, and if so, you
can ignore this portion of the bug. I remember seeing something about
this on -legal. You may want to investigate whether this is the case.
