Package: dialog Version: 1.1-20110302-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: origin-ubuntu oneiric ubuntu-patch
The license of dialog appears to be just LGPL-2.1 (that is, without the "any later version" phrasing). Most of the C files do not have "any later version" but a couple actually do (progressbox.c, prgbox.c, as well as some of the samples). Presumably the work as a whole is merely LGPL-2.1 But debian/copyright claims the work is LGPL-2.1+. Here's a patch to fix that. It may additionally be worth clarifying intent with upstream, since they use mixed licensing statements. Thanks for considering the patch. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers oneiric-updates APT policy: (500, 'oneiric-updates'), (500, 'oneiric-security'), (500, 'oneiric') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.0-2-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
