Package: xxhash
Version: 0.8.1-1
Severity: important

Hello!

The debian/copyright file of package 'xxhash' states, in part:

  [...]
  Files: xxhsum.c
  Copyright: 2012-2014 Yann Collet
  License: GPL-2
  [...]

According to the machine-readable debian/copyright file
format [specification], "GPL-2" means that the file is licensed
under the terms of the GNU GPL v2 only.

[specification]: 
<https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#license-short-name>

However, by looking at the upstream [repository], I see that the
file is licensed as follows:

  /*
   * xxhsum - Command line interface for xxhash algorithms
   * Copyright (C) 2013-2021 Yann Collet
   *
   * GPL v2 License

   *
   * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
   * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

   * You can contact the author at:
   *   - xxHash homepage: https://www.xxhash.com
   *   - xxHash source repository: https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash
   */

[repository]: <https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash/blob/dev/cli/xxhsum.c>

Despite the title "GPL v2 License", the license grant says
"version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version."

Hence, I would say that the license should be described as
"GPL-2+" in the machine-readable debian/copyright file
(see again the [specification]).

Please double check and fix the debian/copyright file, as appropriate.

Thanks for your time and dedication!
