Dear all, 

I've updated the GDCM package that FTP master rejected the last time
because of the dep5-copyright-license-name-not-unique lintian warning. 

Specifically, since each of the license texts varies in wording I
replaced all the short license names "BSD-3-clause" to become unique
entries. In two instances the license text actually referred to another
license. In all the other instances I changed the short name to 

    BSD-3-clause-alike-<author/organization> 

My reason for the latter approach is that none of the license texts
resembled the text of point (3) exactly as it can be found in 

   /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD 

and hence, to bless one of the licenses with "pure" BSD-3-clause short
name would have been a random decision. 

many thanks, 
Gert
