Package: locales Version: 2.10.1-5 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.2.1, 2.1
Many locales contain the following license: # Distribution and use is free, also for # commercial purposes. This does not permit modification, and thus fails DFSG 3. I'd guess that almost all of these come from copying a previous locale file as the basis for a new one (ironically). I don't know the original source. For a full list of such files: grep Distribution /usr/share/i18n/locales/* It appears that more than half the locales contain this license. A couple of files seem to contain a truncated version of the license, namely: $ grep 'Distribution and use is$' * fy_DE:% Distribution and use is li_BE:% Distribution and use is li_NL:% Distribution and use is nds_DE:% Distribution and use is nds_NL:% Distribution and use is This adds credence to the notion that this propagated by copy and paste. The only previous mention I could find of this issue appears in the thread starting at http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1999/12/msg00915.html . - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
