Public bug reported:

The krb5-1.13.2+dfsg-5 package source contains a file autolock.hxx  in
the directory
krb5-1.13.2+dfsg-5\krb5_1.13.2+dfsg.orig\krb5-1.13.2+dfsg\src\ccapi\common\win\OldCC.
Although not declared in any other licensing file for this package the
file contains comments indicating its subject to the Aladdin license
which has implications for any commercial distribution of the software,
specifically:

“2(a) Distribution of the Program or any work based on the Program by a
commercial organization to any third party is prohibited if any payment
is made in connection with such distribution, whether directly (as in
payment for a copy fo the Program) or indirectly (as in payment for some
service related to the Program, or payment for some product or service
that includes a copy of the Program ‘without charge’ . . .”

This file clearly is not needed or used for any Linux build as it
appears specific to windows.

** Affects: krb5 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
