Review: nlopt 2.11.0-1
Package Information
| Description | nonlinear optimization library NLopt is a free/open-source library for nonlinear optimization, providing a common interface for a number of different free optimization routines available online as well as original implementations of various other algorithms. Its features include: * Callable from C, C++, Fortran, GNU Octave, Python, GNU Guile, GNU R. * A common interface for many different algorithms * Support for large-scale optimization. * Both global and local optimization algorithms. * Algorithms using function values only (derivative-free) and also algorithms exploiting user-supplied gradients. * Algorithms for unconstrained optimization, bound-constrained optimization, and general nonlinear inequality/equality constraints. This package provides the shared libraries required to run programs compiled with NLopt. To compile your own programs you also need to install libnlopt-dev. |

Final Comment
Hi,
please list all authors with their files in d/copyright s mentiones in the public notes.
For the BSD-4 clause please mentioned as a comment:
"The FreeBSD project removed the advertising clause from its own code in 1999."
Thanks

INCOMPATIBLE WITH DFSG (1):
BSD-4-Clause-UC [BSD 4-Clause UC (original UC Berkeley advertising clause)]
This license contains an advertising clause requiring that all advertising
materials mentioning features or use of the software display a specific
acknowledgment of the original author or institution.
The advertising clause is DFSG-incompatible for two reasons:
1. Accumulation problem: When a program incorporates multiple components each
carrying an advertising clause with a different required acknowledgment, every
advertising material for the combined work must carry all of them. With even a
handful of such components this becomes unmanageable, and Debian packages
routinely include dozens of third-party libraries. This places an unreasonable
restriction on redistribution, violating DFSG §1.
2. GPL incompatibility: The advertising clause is an additional restriction
beyond what GPL §7 permits. Combining advertising-clause code with GPL-licensed
code in the same binary or Debian package is therefore a licence violation. The
FSF has explicitly documented the 4-clause BSD and MIT advertising variants as
GPL-incompatible for this reason.
The FreeBSD project removed the advertising clause from its own code in 1999;
the OpenBSD and NetBSD projects followed suit. New upstream code using this
licence should be encouraged to relicense without the advertising clause.
Result: ATTENTION REQUIRED
- 1 DFSG-incompatible license(s) found
