Package: palp Severity: serious Version: 1.1-1.1 The file COPYING in the source package contains this:
The package must be distributed as a whole, including this file. The file COPYING is not shipped in the binary package. http://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/palp/filelist /usr/lib/palp/class.x /usr/lib/palp/cws.x /usr/lib/palp/nef.x /usr/lib/palp/poly.x /usr/share/doc/palp/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/palp/copyright And the file /usr/share/doc/palp/copyright does not contain a full copy of COPYING. So this package does not belong in section "main". And by not shipping the COPYING file in the binary package this package violates the copyright/license. Possible solutions are the removal of palp 1.1-1.1 from Debian, or updating the package to ship COPYING in the binary package and move it to section "non-free", or requesting upstream to explicitly confirm that they agree to remove "The package must be distributed as a whole, including this file." from the COPYING file. I guess that this problem also applies to version 1.1-1 but I have not yet verfied that. The problem does not apply to version 2.1-1 at mentors. http://mentors.debian.net/package/palp Uploaded: 2012-05-30 13:20 Regards, Bart Martens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
