Comments regarding cantor_14.12.3-1_amd64.changes



I am going to accept this package, despite some issues with licensing.  The
major issue is the combination of GPL 2+ and GPL 3+ code in src/backends/
qalculate/ that does not appear to be mere aggregation plus the lack of a
copying file for GPL 3.  Either the two GPL v3 files should be relicensed by
the copyright holders as GPL v2+ or a COPYING.GPL3 should be added (in which
case the combination is allowed by upgrading thing to be effectively GPL3.

I checked, and this problem goes back to wheezy, so since it's not new, I
won't reject for it, but will file a bug instead.  Please work with upstream
to get this resolved.

Additionally, there are some minor missing items in copyright holders:

2009-2010 Alexander Rieder <alexanderrieder@gmail.com> should be 2009-2012
2010 Raffaele De Feo <alberthilbert@gmail.com> no longer appears to be a
copyright holder
2011 Filipe Saraiva <filipe@kde.org> should be 2011-2013
2011 Martin Kuettler <martinkuettler@gmail.com> should be 2011-2012
The following copyright holders are not mentioned in debian/copyright:
src/backends/python2/testpython2.cpp:    Copyright (C) 2013 Tuukka Verho
<tuukka.verho@aalto.fi>
src/backends/lua/luasession.cpp:    Copyright (C) 2014 Lucas Hermann Negri
