Bug#781654: copyright-format: "IBM CPL" -> "CPL" in license short names table



Package: debian-policy
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/copyright-format-1.0.txt.gz

Heya,
  in the short name license tables, shipped as part of the machine readable
copyright format specification and available online at

  https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#license-short-name

the long name of the Common Public License (CPL) is incorrect.

It currently reads "IBM Common Public License", but it should simply be "Common
Public License", without leading "IBM". This is confirmed by both
http://spdx.org/licenses/CPL-1.0 (which the table entry points to) and
http://opensource.org/licenses/cpl1.0.php

(Many thanks to Mike Milinkovich for spotting this.)

Cheers.
