Package: src:acpica-unix
Version: 20100528-1
Severity: serious
The last condition in debian/copyright looks non-free:
----
4.3. Licensee shall not export, either directly or indirectly, any of this
software or system incorporating such software without first obtaining any
required license or other approval from the U. S. Department of Commerce or
any other agency or department of the United States Government. In the
event Licensee exports any such software from the United States or
re-exports any such software from a foreign destination, Licensee shall
ensure that the distribution and export/re-export of the software is in
compliance with all laws, regulations, orders, or other restrictions of the
U.S. Export Administration Regulations. Licensee agrees that neither it nor
any of its subsidiaries will export/re-export any technical data, process,
software, or service, directly or indirectly, to any country for which the
United States government or any agency thereof requires an export license,
other governmental approval, or letter of assurance, without first obtaining
such license, approval or letter.
----
It does require to obey US export regulations even when re-exporting from a
non-US location which is a non-free restriction (in the US you would have to
obey the export regulations anyway so the condition in not a restriction there
as far as I understand).
