# `license-problem-old-unicode`

The following file includes material under an old, non-free license from Unicode Inc. Therefore, it is not possible to ship this in main or contrib.

The problematic license contains the text "Unicode, Inc. hereby grants the right to freely use the information supplied in this file in the creation of products supporting the Unicode Standard", which is non-free because it prohibits the use of the code in products that do not support the Unicode standard.

Unicode relicensed their files in 2004 with a DFSG license, but some programs that incorporated the code prior to that never updated their license text. There is information in the associated bug report about how projects have appropriately updated the licence.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `license-problem-convert-utf-code`
