Re: [RC bug fix] Sponsor needed, 2nd try

This upload is to fix an RC bug.
Some time ago it was filed a 'serious' bug against the package
kstars-data-extra-tycho2 that I maintain. The seriousness of the bug
was related to the possibility of copyright infringement. Bug number is
#681654.
I've cleared the doubt with a change to the Copyright file that now
explicites the terms under which original data were obtained.
I can't see how it fixes an RC bug.
The bug submitter claims that there's a license problem. If this is
true, then no amount of d/copyright clarification is going to fix it.
It's also possible the submitter's claims are bogus, and the only
problem here is that the copyright file is confusing. In that case, the
bug should be closed, or downgraded and retitled.
However, I find the new copyright file _more_ confusing. How can a work
in public domain be "for scientific use only"?
p.s. I'm not subscribed, please cc me on replies.
