Package: kdesdk-scripts
Version: 4:4.6.3-1
Severity: normal

  Hello,

  While doing sponsor work on a prospective package that embeds a copy of 
/usr/bin/extractrc, I found that it is licenced as

$ cat /usr/bin/extractrc
#! /usr/bin/env perl

### TODO: other copyrights, license?
# Copyright (c) 2004 Richard Evans <r...@ridas.com>

  This copyright notice, without any accompanying licence, simply
forbids all redistribution and use, and doesn't correspond to the
assertion in debian/copyright that all the files in scripts/ in the
source package are GPLed.

  I'm condident the original author intended to release this script
under a free license, but it would be good to get a clarification on
that.

  Cheers,

        Vincent
