Bug#877999: lintian: false positive: license-problem-non-free-RFC debian/copyright
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.54
Severity: important
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
The tag in the subject is generated for source package Racket.
Severity is because this is used as an autoreject tag. Maybe that's not lintian's fault.
I suspect it's triggered by some discussion of the "Original License"
of some component of Racket.
It seems like you probably want to except debian/copyright from such a
check, since the presence of suspect text there does not reliably
indicate anything about the licensing. Also the whole idea of the
license of debian/copyright is probably not a good thing to devote
mental energy to.
