Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.96
Severity: normal
The test for the human-readable rather than legal text of the Creative
Commons licenses seems to fail, because the preamble about Creative
Commons not being a law firm is not part of the license text, and
neither is the postamble about Creative Commons not being a party to
the license agreement; they are instead form the terms and conditions
between Creative Commons and the person using a CC license. So I
cannot see why these parts should necessarily be included in the
Debian copyright file. Has there been a policy decision to require
this, perhaps?
Also, it seems that this check would be better in the parse_license
function when checking each license block rather than the run
function, as there might be more than one CC license in a copyright
file, and it is feasible that one is correct and one not.
Best wishes,
Julian
