Source: php-net-ping
Version: 2.4.5-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 12.5


The source code claims to be copyright by several of the upstream authors, but
the source code itself doesn't have these copyright claims anyway.  The
sourcecode claims to be held by the the PHP Group.  Please update
debian/copyright.

As I assume you know, since you have an override for the lintian error, there
are questions about the distributability of code under php 2.x licenses for
software which is not part of PHP itself.  Since the upstream homepage [1] now
seems to claim that this is distributable under the php 3.01 license, lets
update debian/copyright to reflect that;
