Bug#1120938: cdbs: Indirectly references the BSD license in base-files



Package: src:cdbs
Version: 0.4.180
Severity: wishlist

Hello.

Referencing the BSD license included in base-files has been deprecated for some time now
and current policy says "should not".

The current URL gives a list of potentially buggy packages:

https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=the+complete+text+of+the+BSD+License+can+be+found

and cdbs is one of them because of tests/data/hdparm/debian/copyright.

This is probably a "false positive", but I wonder if it would be possible to
change it so that it does not even show in the above URL.

(CC to Bastian Germann who has been working on this issue for a long time,
but only as FYI).

Thanks.
