Hi desktop-base maintainers!
First of all, thank you very much for fixing bug #587668.
However, the changes needed to fix that bug do not seem to
be properly documented in the debian/copyright file, unfortunately.
It seems to me that this file is rather outdated and in need of
a complete review and update.
Please review the copyrights and licenses of all the files shipped
in the package and fix the debian/copyright file.
Some random checks highlight at least the following issues:
* the debian-background.svg file seems to be no longer present
in the package (that's a relief, since it was apparently
derived from the non-free DOUL-with)
* there does not seem to be any clear copyright notice
(with years and copyright holders) and license for
debian-security.xcf, which is derived from the DOUL
(under the Expat/MIT license) and from a GNOME icon
(under which license?!?)
* the debian-official-logo-small.png image seems to be no longer
present (that's a relief, since the official logo is non-free)
* there does not seem to be any clear copyright notice
(with years and copyright holders) and license for
the gnome-debian-sid "kit", which is (now) derived from
at least the DOUL (under the Expat/MIT license)
* the SpaceFun theme copyright notice and license does not seem to be
complete, since it does not mention that the theme was derived from
the DOUL (which is copyright (c) 1999 Software in the Public
Interest and released under the Expat/MIT license, a license
which is distinct from the GPLv2, even though compatible with it)
* I cannot see any information about the nightly and moreblue-orbit
themes ...
* I cannot find any information about the emblem-debian.icon and
emblem-debian.png files ...
Nomenclature:
DOUL Debian Open Use Logo without "Debian"
(which is DFSG-free, under the Expat/MIT license)
http://www.debian.org/logos/openlogo-nd.svg
DOUL-with Debian Open Use Logo with "Debian"
(which is non-free, under it own custom license)
http://www.debian.org/logos/openlogo.svg
I really hope the debian/copyright file may be fixed in time
for the squeeze release.
Thanks for your time and for your great contributions to the
Debian distribution!
