> There are some issues with the d/copyright file.
>
> The file doc/chicago.bst is not included in the upload, but the
> license given for that file in d/copyright cannot be valid. If you
> look at the source code for named.bst, it says
>
> Copying of this file is authorized only if either
> (1) you make absolutely no changes to your copy, including name, or
> (2) if you do make changes, you name it something other than
> btxbst.doc, plain.bst, unsrt.bst, alpha.bst, and abbrv.bst.
> This restriction helps ensure that all standard styles are identical.
>
> Since chicago.bst is apparently a modification of named.bst, these
> other file names which are not permitted need to be included in the
> license for chicago.bst. plain.bst also has a list of names that
> cannot be used. This is upstream's error, but I'm not really happy
> about Debian propagating the error by distributing this d/copyright
> file, even though we're not distributing the file chicago.bst.
>
> I also noticed, while reviewing d/copyright, that `Licence: MIT`
> should be `License: Expat`, and the Source: field is out-of-date.
> There are also some Lintian warnings about the machine-readable
> format.
>
> Having found these issues with d/copyright, I didn't review the
> upstream source code. I request a reupload with a cleaned up
> d/copyright for a full review.
