While trying to address the following Lintian complaint on an
(unreleased) libprophet-perl version 0.750 [1], I've found that
there's little information on the versions of (/preasumably/
GNU) GPL the affected files are distributed under.

E: libprophet-perl: copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl
--cut--
The files are as follows (along with the debian/copyright info,
and the respective Web pages, as found with a quick Web search.)
share/web/static/jquery/js/hoverIntent.js
Copyright: 2007, Brian Cherne <br...@cherne.net>; MIT | GPL
http://cherne.net/brian/resources/jquery.hoverIntent.html
The Web page doesn't mention a license at all, but both MIT and
GPL (without “GNU” and the version) are mentioned in the code
(as of the 2011 version, anyway.) Presumably refers to jQuery's
GPL-LICENSE.txt, which seems to be GNU GPL 2.0. No “or later”
clause is in sight.
share/web/static/jquery/js/jquery-1.2.6.min.js
Not listed in debian/copyright.
share/web/static/jquery/css/indicator.gif
share/web/static/jquery/css/jquery.autocomplete.css
share/web/static/jquery/js/jquery-autocomplete.js
Copyright: 2007, Dylan Verheul, Dan G. Switzer, Anjesh Tuladhar,
Jörn Zaefferer; MIT | GPL
https://github.com/dyve/jquery-autocomplete
As packaged, refers to http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html,
which is GNU GPL v3. No “or later” clause is in sight.
The current version is MIT | GPL | Apache 2.0, and refers to
jQuery for the first two, thus “GNU GPL 2.0” only (as for
hoverIntent above.)
share/web/static/jquery/js/jquery.bgiframe.min.js
Copyright: 2006, Brandon Aaron; MIT | GPL
https://github.com/brandonaaron/bgiframe/
https://github.com/brandonaaron/bgiframe/blob/d87ce96d93839a12c9a2b3ffdb22df0cfc2d13af/LICENSE.txt
Refers to http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php, which
is a list of all three GNU GPL versions. Thus seems to be
GNU GPL 1.0 or later.
share/web/static/jquery/js/jquery.tablesorter.min.js
et al.
Copyright: 2007, Christian Bach; MIT | GPL
http://tablesorter.com/docs/
Refers to http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php, thus
seems to be GNU GPL 1.0 or later (see above.)
share/web/static/jquery/js/pretty.js
FIXME: share/web/static/jquery/pretty.js in debian/copyright
Copyright: 2008, John Resig; MIT
http://ejohn.org/blog/javascript-pretty-date/
As of 2011, it's also under a “GPL.” No “GNU”, version, or “or
later” clause in sight.
share/web/static/jquery/js/superfish.js
share/web/static/jquery/js/supersubs.js
Copyright: 2008, Joel Birch; MIT | GPL
http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/
Refers to http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html, which is
GNU GPL v3. No “or later” clause is in sight.
PS. To note is that, as a avid user of both Lynx and NoScript, I'd be
happy to discard all of these. Hopefully I can get the things
clarified, however.
