Dear Maintainer,

The debian/copyright file says that this program is licensed under the
Artistic License. But the README file says that it's licensed under the same
terms as Perl itself. Perl's copyright file says that its license is "GPL-1+
or Artistic".

gNewSense, a Debian derivative, aims to comply with the FSF's Free System
Distribution Guidelines [1]. The FSF considers the Artistic License 1.0 to be
non-free. While searching for offending packages in Debian, txt2html shows up
as a false positive due to the incomplete copyright information.

Please add GPL-1+ as a valid license in debian/copyright. You could also
consider using DEP 5 [2] to make searching for license information easier.
