Package: tightvnc-java Version: 1.2.7 Severity: normal The debian/copyright file in the tightvnc-java source package omits some copyrights, some licenses, and some authors found in the source files.
It also includes an author, two copyrights, and a license that I see no basis for in the source files. The smallest omission: VncCanvas.java has a line // Copyright (C) 2000 Tridia Corporation. All Rights Reserved. not reflected in the copyright file. The extra author, copyrights, and license are the references to Richard Outerbridge, Graven Imagery, and the X Consortium and the X license. None of these appear elsewhere in a grep -r of the source. The major omission is that of the information on DesCipher.java, which has two authors, two copyright holders, and two licenses not mentioned in debian/copyright. This information is copied under the heading ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS inside the README file, and I suspect the extraneous notices under that heading in the copyright file were meant to be those of the README. I believe the paragraph with "See the file LICENCE.TXT", "also contains code from other sources", "see README" should all go away, as the copyright file should contain all the relevant information so that it is available on any system with the package installed. A reference to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL can replace LICENCE.TXT, and the rest should be incorporated into the copyright file. Thanks!
