Package: netdiag
Version: 1.0-13
Severity: minor
In doc/netdiag/copyright the license of strobe is stated as GPL and claimed to
be taken from strobe-1.06.tar.gz. The upstream archive does not mention GPL,
instead the manpage and the COPYRIGHT file say:
--copy--
Copyright (c) Julian Assange 1995-1999, All rights reserved.
This software has only three copyright restrictions. Firstly, this
copyright notice must remain intact and unmodified. Secondly, the
Author, Julian Assange, must be appropriately and prominantly
credited in any documentation associated with any derived work.
Thirdly unless otherwise negotiated with the author, you may not
sell this program commercially, reasonable distribution costs
excepted.
Use and or distribution of this software implies acceptance of the
above.
--paste--
This is a bit nitpicking as the author's intention seems to be GPL-compatible.
The wording, however, is not GPL-compatible: ''... you may not sell this
program commercially, reasonable distribution costs excepted.´´
GPL explicitly allows selling source code for any price.
I suggest to replace the "STROBE:" section in doc/netdiag/copyright with the
above custom license boilerplate and to remove any further statements (if
existing) about strobe being GPL.
This bug even made it into German Wikipedia:

GPL, references debian.org)
