Package: numdiff Version: 5.8.1-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 4.5
Hello and thanks for maintaining this interesting package in Debian! After taking a look at bug #709492, I noticed that the debian/copyright file for numdiff/5.8.1-1 [1] seems to be incomplete, as it does not mention the GFDL-licensed files. There are at least some files under the GFDL [2]. [1] https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/n/numdiff/copyright-5.8.1-1 [2] for instance: https://sources.debian.net/src/numdiff/5.8.1-1/docs/numdiff.txi/ Please update the debian/copyright file to correctly document the licensing status of the package. Or, even better, could the upstream developer(s) be persuaded to re-license the documentation under the same terms as the rest of the package (GPL)? This would be an optimal solution, since, for example, it would allow any contributor to use material copied from the program source code, when improving the documentation. Moreover, it would simplify the debian/copyright file! ;-) Bye and thanks for your time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
