Package: kdelibs Version: 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-2 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 12.5
Sune suggested I look at kde packages to see if they have adequate debian/copyright. I'm sorry but they don't seem to. Although I only did a very brief check, I see several problems right away. Below are some of the problems I immediately spotted. I didn't do a full scan of the source for other license problems, but that clearly needs to be done. ./kio/kio/ksambashare.cpp: This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License version 2 as published by the Free Software Foundation.
