Bug#72941: general: non-free packages should have special info in description.



In Sun,  1 Oct 2000 18:12:19 -0500 (CDT), de profundis Evan Thompson <evaner@evaner.penguinpowered.com> cum veritate scripsit

evaner> non-free packages should have some indicator (in description or what-have-you) of why they don't follow DFSG so that CD vendors and all others conserned know why they're not in main.
evaner> 

I believe this is in the file
/usr/doc/{packagename}/copyright
for each package, according to policy (v.3.2.1.0)

  2.1.6. Further copyright considerations
  ---------------------------------------

     Every package must be accompanied by a verbatim copy of its copyright
     and distribution license in the file
     /usr/share/doc/<package-name>/copyright (see Section 6.6, `Copyright
     information' for details).
