Dear Debian Multimedia Maintainers,
I noticed that the [debian/copyright] file for guitarix states that
two images ('data/Layout.svg' and 'data/stereo.svg') are under
CC-BY-1.0, which does not meet the DFSG.
[debian/copyright]: <https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/g/guitarix/copyright-0.42.1dfsg1-1>
I got in touch with the upstream developers, with the intention to
persuade them to re-license the two files under DFSG-free terms.
And I found out that those two files are already under GPL-2+,
as the majority of the guitarix package files.
See the [confirmation] from the Guitarix devs.
[confirmation]: <https://sourceforge.net/p/guitarix/mailman/message/37231948/>
This means that there is no DFSG-freeness issue in the guitarix package
(and that's wonderful news!): it's the debian/copyright file that appears
to be inaccurate.
Please find attached a patch that fixes the debian/copyright file
to better reflect the actual licensing status of the package.
Please apply the patch as soon as possible.
Thanks for your time.
Bye!
