Bug#687841: java-common: [Policy] please explicitly state copyright and license in Java Policy
Package: java-common
Version: 0.47
Severity: wishlist
Hello java-common maintainers!
It is my understanding that the Debian policy for Java [1] is
currently part of the java-common package, and thus licensed
under the GNU GPL v2 or later, as documented in the debian/copyright
file [2].
Very good, this is important, especially in light of the future
plan to integrate it into the (general) Debian Policy Manual [3].
On the other hand, the copyright and licensing status of the
Debian policy for Java is not very clear, when this document
is viewed online from the Debian website [1].
Please include a clear "Copyright Notice" section (immediately
after the "Abstract" section) in order to explicitly state
the copyright and license for the document.
Examples are the Debian Policy Manual itself [3] and the Debian
Python Policy [4].
Thanks for your time.
Bye.
