Bug#786867: lintian: recognize "public-domain" instead of "public domain"
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.31
Severity: normal
The machine-readable copyright format recognizes (only) "public-domain"
(dash-separated) as short name for PD packages, not "public domain"
(space separated). However, when specifying
Copyright: Not applicable
License: public-domain
lintian complains about copyright-without-copyright-notice. The info for
this tag suggests that Lintian checks for the version with space instead
of the one with dash.
Lintian should follow the format specification here.
Best regards
Ole
