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.

Closing Lenny release-notes pending bugs, since the relevant patches have been
commited to SVN trunk and are published on line at
http://debian.org/releases/lenny/releasenotes

Sorry for the mass mail.
