Package: xli
Version: 1.17.0-18
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Found some typos in '/usr/X11R6/man/man1/xli.1.gz', see attached '.diff'.

Note: "copyright" is a type of law that involves a licensor's _right_
(a noun) to  limit what others may _copy_ (a verb).  "Copywritten" would
be _copy_ (a noun,  meaning "text") that was _written_ (verb past tense)
by some copy writer, for example a newspaper or advertising employee.  
The current man page had the noun 'right' confused with the verb 'write'.

Hope this helps...
