Bug#816192: RFS: python-proselint/0.3.5-1 [ITP] -- A prose linter



* Paul Wise <pabs@debian.org>, 2016-03-06, 16:59:
I can't find a copy of the BSD license grant in the upstream tarball at all, only in PKG-INFO and setup.py. I'm not sure this is good enough for ftp-master approval.

I'm pretty sure it isn't. Their reject FAQ[0] says:
If the upstream tarball does not include a copy of the license, debian/copyright must document when and how the license information was obtained (i.e. include "Downloaded by John Doe on 2008-12-24 from http://example.net/license"; or reproduce email correspondence including some header) in addition to reproducing the license itself. In the past there were uploads where one couldn't find the license statement in the tarball or on the website from upstream, which is bad.
