Source: ack
Version: 2.18-2
Severity: serious
Control: forwarded -1 https://github.com/beyondgrep/ack2/issues/655
Control: found -1 1.80-1

The source package of ack cointains at least four full song texts under
t/text/ which are very likely not under a free license:

t/text/boy-named-sue.txt (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Boy_Named_Sue)
t/text/me-and-bobbie-mcgee.txt (See 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_and_Bobby_McGee)
t/text/shut-up-be-happy.txt
t/text/science-of-myth.txt

The files are in the ack respectively ack-grep source package since at
least upstream release 1.80, but maybe for even longer, since the git
history of Debian's ack/ack-grep package only goes back to 1.80 and
1.80-1.

Upstream is informed about the issue at
https://github.com/beyondgrep/ack2/issues/655
