Now if you want to discuss whether the license of the code that the HTML page is referring to is right or not, it's another issue. But as you wrote before, that needs more than what lintian can currently offer. > So I am not inclined to close this bug because I check file that list > license. Eparse. But considering it's marked as wontfix, there is no need to discuss this further. -- Los errores ortográficos y de redacción fueron insertados con la única intención de testear sus conocimientos de la lengua castellana.
