That can be difficult, since I'm unable to find any address of the Author within the upstream website or tarball. Furthermore seems that discussion already happened: https://code.google.com/archive/p/ultimate-claws-mail/issues/1 > Ideally, the metadata included in the upstream distribution tar archive > should be consistent with the statement on the upstream website. > > I would be great, if that theme were clearly and explicitly licensed > under the terms of the GNU GPL. Yeah, agreed, but given I doubt that can be possible at this point to make upstream release a new tarball just to fix those bits, specially without a contact address. Will try to ask upstream if somebody has his contact, otherwise I'm afraid the only solution will be the removal. regards, -- Ricardo Mones http://people.debian.org/~mones «Try to divide your time evenly to keep others happy.»
