Bug Description
Binary package hint: wordpress
Description is a copy of the Debian Bug report #607240 / http://
WordPress includes a plugin in wp-content/
default distribution. This plugin contains in the source code the full
lyrics to a copyrighted work, a song called "Hello Dolly".
IANAL, but I believe it is impossible that these lyrics are
GPL-compatible. Relevant wordpress ticket:
http://
(the discussion is rather unsettling)
A quick research on http://
show the copyright holders.
