Thanks for noticing, I overlooked that.
I've just re-uploaded the package (whose source package in the meantime
has been changed to "camlp5" according to upstream wishes).
What it is now stated in debian/copyright is something like:
- everything except (some of) the stuff under ocaml_stuff/ is released
under BSD
- (some of) the stuff under ocaml_stuff/ is released under a modified
QPL, whose modifications are:
- choice of law (France) [ I guess this is instead of choice of venue,
but I haven't checked the original unmodified license ]
- an additional linking exception which enables more free linking
against (modified or not) version of the distributed software
The above copyright information and license changes are already present
in the copyright of the "ocaml" source package which is currently in the
archive. The files you found under ocaml_stuff/ came for ocaml itself
(some versions ago) and are either verbatim copies of the ocaml files at
the time, or their modified versions.
I hope you consider this enough for the package to be suitable for
acceptance in our archive.
Many thanks for your reviews!
Cheers.
