Closing. Please, let's keep this bug report open until each part of it gets fixed. First of all, there is still the issue with the missing acknowledgment that the Joy theme is based on the Debian “Open Use” (without “Debian” word) logo: Paul Tagliamonte has stated that he'll fix this part tonight. Then there's the clarification of the debian/copyright file, which is also still to be done. But it already seems that this will have to be done differently, since the upstream author of the Joy theme (Adrien Aubourg) has just stated that he'll soon re-license his theme under the GPL. Hence I think the debian/copyright file needs some modifications, before this bug report may be closed... -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
