This doesn't seem to fix the bug. From your previous mail on this bug: On Sat, Feb 19, 2011 at 12:04:16PM +0100, Christian T.

You expressed doubts about the licenses, and those doubts seem quite reasonable given that the only actual license available for at least one of the files explicitly does not permit modification, or inclusion in a game. The data in the AUTHORS file does not give any actual license ("free to use, modify, and redistribute" by itself doesn't really look like a license, just an attempted summary of one). Listing the author data in the copyright file seems like a good idea, but I don't think it addresses this bug. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
