Hi Guix bug wranglers,

It's come to my attention that pdbpp (pdb++) is a noncompliant
derivative of CPython code and cannot be legally distributed;
the package claims a BSD 3 Clause license but as a derivative
of CPython code must be PSL-2.0.


This software is packaged in your repository as:


Please take any appropriate action to prevent further infringement
while upstream considers their response.
