Bug#77072: copyright of tetex-dev should be LGPL
Package: tetex-dev
Version: 1.0.7+20000807-5
Severity: important
In the copyright file of tetex-dev, it is stated as
Copyright for tetex-bin and tetex-lib:
The teTeX distribution is free software; you can redistribute it
and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the
License, or (at your option) any later version.
but it does not mention about tetex-dev ;)
As far as I checked, tetex-dev contains only files of kpathsea
library and the kpathsea library is under LGPL. It is declared
clearly in kpathsea.texi as
We distribute the library under the GNU Library General Public License
(LGPL).
So I guess that tetex-dev is under LGPL. At least I think libkpathsea.*
should be under LGPL. I am not so sure about header files...
Please check and change the statement of the copyright file of tetex-dev.
Thanks in advance, 2000.11.15
