Package: octave
Version: 1:2.1.73-13
Severity: minor

The /usr/share/doc/octave2.1/copyright file incorrectly states that 
Octave is GPL version 2 only.  In fact, every source file contains a 
copyright statement like the following (from src/octave.cc):

	it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as

	(at your option) any later version.

This has also been confirmed by JW Eaton:

Changes: 
 octave2.1 (1:2.1.73-17) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Synched with octave3.0; in particular, switch from g77 to gfortran;
     also, don't depend on a specific g++ version (closes: #463301)
   * debian/control: Build-depend on dejagnu (for make check)
   * Moved debian/copyright into debian/in/copyright and generated the
     former using the slice command.  This is necessary because Octave 2.1
     and 3.0 are released under different versions of the GPL.  Changed
     debian/rules accordingly.
   * debian/in/copyright: Added the mention that Octave 2.1 is released under
     version 2 or later of the GPL (closes: #435205)
   * Added dpatches :
     + 50_compile-with-g++-4.3: Fixes for compiling the
       octave2.1 with the GCC 4.3 suite (closes: #417486)
     + 50_build-octave-faq: Correctly builds the PS forms of the Octave-FAQ
       documentation
   * debian/in/PACKAGE-htmldoc.doc-base.faq: Give correct name of HTML
     index file
   * debian/rules: Remove the *.html at clean target, such that the package
     have the same contents when built twice in a row (closes: #441721)
   * debian/in/PACKAGE.postinst: Drop option -L given to the ls command
     when building the ls-R database, such that simultaneous installation
     of octave2.1 and octave3.0 will not fail (closes: #464334)
