Bug#554779: weird /usr/share/doc/gcc-doc/README



Package: gcc-doc
Version: 5:2
Severity: wishlist

The last two line in /usr/share/doc/gcc-doc/README read

  However, for pople who needs the documentation, it is
  available from non-free section of the Debian archive.

"Pople"? Must be a curious race, perhaps leaving on
poplars, for some reason they need documentation :-)

Beside the typo, I wonder how incompatible are the
licences for gcc and gcc-doc to one another if it
is possible to get gcc but not gcc-doc. At the very
least, the README should say where the docs actually
are. Since "non-free" is in my sources.list, why did
I get this place holder att all?

Wasn't this stuff going to be fixed after GPLv3?

TIA
Ale
