Bug#332782: release-notes: Where's the license?



Package: release-notes
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1

The Debian documentation policy (http://www.debian.org/doc/docpolicy) reads:

| All manuals of the Debian Documentation Project (DDP) will be released
| under DFSG-compliant licenses

On the other hand the _Release Notes_ seem to be released with no
license at all (that means "All Rights Reserved", under current
copyright laws!).

_Release Notes_ should be licensed in a DFSG-free manner: for instance
under the GNU GPL v2 license.


-- System Information:
Debian Release: 3.1
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Kernel: Linux 2.4.31
Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1)
