Package: okular Version: 4:4.2.2-2 Severity: normal I'm CCing this to Debian-devel because I think it speaks to a larger issue.

I just downloaded a PDF, and tried to copy and paste a bit of text from it. I used the selection tool, and Okular offered to speak it to me, but said "Copy forbidden by DRM." pdftotext was able to convert the entire file to text format in an instant. So what I want to know is: why are people putting code into Debian that limits our freedom? Why are people putting such code into KDE? And can we please patch it to stop that? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (99, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages okular depends on: ii kdebase-runtime 4:4.2.2-1 runtime components from the offici ii kdelibs5 4:4.2.2-2 core libraries for all KDE 4 appli ii libc6 2.9-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfreetype6 2.3.9-4.1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.0-5 GCC support library ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libokularcore1 4:4.2.2-2 libraries for the Okular document ii libphonon4 4:4.3.1-1 Phonon multimedia framework for Qt ii libpoppler-qt4-3 0.10.6-1 PDF rendering library (Qt 4 based ii libqca2 2.0.0-4 libraries for the Qt Cryptographic ii libqimageblitz4 1:0.0.4-4 QImageBlitz image effects library ii libqt4-dbus 4.5.1-2 Qt 4 D-Bus module ii libqt4-qt3support 4.5.1-2 Qt 3 compatibility library for Qt ii libqt4-svg 4.5.1-2 Qt 4 SVG module ii libqt4-xml 4.5.1-2 Qt 4 XML module ii libqtcore4 4.5.1-2 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4.5.1-2 Qt 4 GUI module ii libspectre1 0.2.2.ds-1+b1 Library for rendering Postscript d ii libstdc++6 4.4.0-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii phonon 4:4.3.1-1 metapackage for Phonon multimedia ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-13 compression library - runtime okular recommends no packages.
