Subject: cd-circleprint: English language usage
To: maintonly@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.3.10
Delivered-To: maintonly@bugs.debian.org
Package: cd-circleprint
Version: 0.3.7-1
Severity: normal
I suggest these changes to the English language parts of the program &
documentation. (No apologies needed - your English is **much** better
than my German.)
At the very end of the patch, I am suggesting the use of the FSF's
language to describe the software license. I suppose the original
language is okay too, but I am not a lawyer. :-)

This cd-circleprint bug was closed by the update to version 0.3.8-1, however
the maintainer (who is now MIA) neglected to close the bug.
I'm adopting the package (and also the upstream project on SF).
The bug was fixed by applying the patch supplied by James R. Van Zandt who
reported the bug.
