I hit this recently for ros-rviz, which has tongoproject icons (public domain). It insisted on a licence paragraph even where there wasn't one. > but in the manual of the copyright that if license is public-domain "the > remaining lines of the field must explain exactly what exemption the > corresponding files for that paragraph have from default copyright > restrictions" > > but I did not find example I just copied the text of the public domain statement from the website in this case: https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/r/ros-rviz/copyright-1.11.10%2Bdfsg-1 (which then cause another (wrong) lintian warning about the GPL as that is mentioned in the text) That text came from the bottom of http://tango.freedesktop.org/ Can you find a similar statement for your project?
