[Python-modules-team] Bug#570258: python-graphy: depends on non-free software

[Éric Araujo]

Package: python-graphy
Severity: normal

Hello

I’ve noticed the python-graphy package in testing today. If I understand correctly,
it depends on the Google Graph service to function. python-graphy itself is free,
but the software behind the Google service seems not free. (I followed a link from
<http://code.google.com/intl/fr/apis/charttools/index.html> to
<http://www.google.com/accounts/TOS> via
<http://code.google.com/intl/fr/terms.html>)

I’m neither a DD not a lawyer, but I wonder if such a dependency warrants moving
the package to the contrib section.

(I’m still a beginner bug reporter, I don’t know if I should have contacted ftp-masters
or debian-legal. Please forward to them if needed.)

Kind regards
