mime-tools problems
Hi there,
I backported the fixes done to libfile-spec-perl to mime-tools, but
I'm having an error on upgrade that I've never seen before and I don't
know how to fix it:
$ LANG=C sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Also, I found that the package has some serious licensing problems,
that I'm sure won't let it pass NEW today:
in /lib/MIME/Decoder/UU.pm:
"UU-decoding code lifted from "uuexplode", a Perl script by an unknown
author..."
These files have no copyright nor license:
./t/Globby.pm
./lib/MIME/Field/ParamVal.pm
./lib/MIME/Parser/Reader.pm
These files have author but not license:
./lib/MIME/Field/ContType.pm
./lib/MIME/Field/ConTraEnc.pm
./lib/MIME/Field/ContDisp.pm
./lib/MIME/WordDecoder.pm
And finally, there are many acknowledgements in ./lib/MIME/Tools.pm
that I don't know if we should include in debian/copyright.
What should we about this?
