Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.9
Severity: normal

Hi,

the licensecheck script is unable to recognize ISC-type licences and
therefore recognizes them as BSD licenses. That is wrong and causes
copyright conflicts with upstream authors if someone relies on
licensecheck. I'm currently preparing a patched version, that I will add
soon (as soon as I repatch against svn instead of 2.10.9 ;-).

Regards,
Patrick
