Bug#753842: lintian: superfluous comma in gfdl license template [license-problem-gfdl-non-official-text]



Hi Andreas!

Please ask upstream to always use (case insensitive):
with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
-----

does not exactly match the FSF template
<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto-opt.en.html>:

-----
with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts and no Back-Cover Texts.
----

The FSF template does not use a comma in front of "and".

I have no idea which of the two variants uses correct punctuation,

Unfortunately, there is no world-wide agreement on which one is correct. Please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_comma
