unzip.h and unzip.c files in source packages.
Dear all,
while reviewing an Ubuntu package that we are considering to submit to the NEW
queue for inclusion in Debian, I found a copy of source files from the
‘minizip’ package, that was not mentionned in debian/copyright.
Suspecting that it could have been overlooked by many others, I had a look at
source.debian.net and checked a couple of packages randomly.
http://source.debian.net/source/search?&path=unzip.c
http://source.debian.net/source/search?&path=unzip.h
Indeed, this file was undeclared in some of the packages I checked, including
one from me (velvet).
The conclusion is that we should either change our policy on copyright
documentation (that goes further than what is required by some licenses),
or double-check our packages.
Have a nice day,
