Bug#497703: more info



Upon closer inspection, it looks like the problem is bigger than just an
incomplete copyright file.  Several of the files, for example,
happydoclib/formatter/xmlformatterbase.py contain the statments:

# This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
# under certain conditions. For details see COPYING file.

But the upstream tarball doesn't contain a file named COPYING.

I checked the current upstream release which is newer than the one
debian is shipping.  They no longer reference a file named COPYING, but
they still have an embedded version of docstring which has the
following:

# Copyright (c) 2001 Zope Corporation and Contributors. All Rights Reserved.

The software is not, however, accompanied by a copy of the ZPL.

Thanks,
