Hi Noel,

You wrote this in debian/copyright as the solution for bug 681654 in the
package at mentors uploaded there on 2012-07-18 17:57 :

  X-Original-Data-License: Public Domain
   (as data has been retrieved by Authors from NASA ADC at 
http://web.archive.org/web/20060908122029/adc.astro.umd.edu/cgi-bin/adc/cat.pl?/catalogs/1/1259/
 whose policy is PD, as stated in

 see below)
   All ADC data are public domain unless otherwise stated in the "ReadMe" file. 
The data are for scientific use only and have no commercial value.

This is not a solution for bug 681654.

The webpage you mentioned mentions this :

  Policies Concerning the Use of ADC Data
  Are ADC data public domain?
  All ADC data are public domain unless otherwise stated in the "ReadMe" file. 
  The data are for scientific use only and have no commercial value.

This work may have been made available to the public on a website.  But there
is a difference between a "use policy" and a "license to redistribute".  The
above is a "use policy", not a license to redistribute.  You haven't included
that "ReadMe" file in debian/copyright, so I guess that you don't have a
"ReadMe" file.

So at this point you don't have a license to redistribute.

Regards,

Bart Martens
