Bug#809830: wtop: dubious packaging license change
Package: wtop
Version: 0.6.3-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
In version -5, the license of the Debian packaging was changed from
GPL to BSD-3-clause, since the upstream code itself is licensed under
the latter. Was this change approved by the existing copyright
holders? While most of the packaging was re-done, the patches
weren't...
Regards,
Stephen
