Package: wcalc
Version: 2.3-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.3
The debian/copyright file from the package says:
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
but the COPYRIGHT file from upstream says:
All code in the Wcalc distribution which is Copyright Kyle Wheeler or
which references this COPYRIGHT file is licensed under the GPL version 2
included below.
an the README file says:
Wcalc is made available under the GNU Public License (GPL), version 2.
The full text of the License is in the file titled COPYING as
distributed with the source, or is available here:
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
So, Wcalc seems to be distributed under GPLv2, not GPLv2+ as
debian/copyright says.
Moreover, wcalc.1 says:
COPYRIGHT
wcalc is Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 Kyle Wheeler.
It is freely distributed, and can be modified and used freely for any
purpose, as long as a copy of the modification is sent to Kyle Wheeler
at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
AFAIK, the "as long as a copy of the modification..." is incompatible
with the GPL (all versions).
