Public bug reported:

The listed build of the libsdl is linking to libcaca, which is licensed
under a 'Do whatever you want with it license', HOWEVER, libcaca is, in
turn, linked to libslang, WHICH IS NOW GPL ONLY for version 2.0.

As a result, any application utilizing libslang, believing it is being
used under the LGPL is actually being indirectly infected by the GPL.

** Affects: libsdl1.2 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
