@luckyrat, could you please have a look at that issue ?

MS-PL not compatible with GPL

opened 12:21PM - 13 Apr 25 UTC

The package for keepassRPC was rejected from Debian because the file `Jayrock/sr…c/Jayrock.Json/Dynamic/DynamicMetaObject.cs` is licensed under the [MS-PL](https://spdx.org/licenses/preview/MS-PL.html). Paragraph 3D of this license is not compatible with GPL. > (D) If you distribute any portion of the software in source code form, you may do so only under this license by including a complete copy of this license with your distribution. If you distribute any portion of the software in compiled or object code form, you may only do so under a license that complies with this license. Do you think you could update/patch your sources to work without this file & license? Is it actually really required for KeepassRPC? [Freeze](https://release.debian.org/testing/freeze_policy.html) for new packages in the next stable release of Debian starts on 15/Apr. If you have a very quick fix, we could consider trying a new submission. Otherwise, we might would have to wait the next stable release, probably in approx. 2 years.

Already done

Looks like a Debian mistake but let’s continue discussion in the GitHub issue if needed.
