Description Philipp Hahn univentionstaff 2018-12-17 15:07:40 CET
conffiles/etc/cups/cupsd.conf is based on conf/cupds.conf.in from e very old version of CUPS (1.3), which was back than under GPL-2-only, while our package is AGPL-3.0-only, which is AFAIK incompatible:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affero_General_Public_License#Compatibility_with_the_GPL>

Apple bough cups from Easy Software Products and re-livened everything in 2017 under the Apache-2.0 licence, which would be compatible with AGPL-3.0 (AFAIK): <https://www.cups.org/blog/2017-11-07-cups-license-change.html>. We should update base our template on that version.
