Comments regarding libkomparediff2_15.08.0-1_amd64.changes



The file LibKompareDiff2Config.cmake.in is not covered in debian/copyright.

Two of the three copyright holders are missing from debian/copyright and the
BSD license used is not mentioned either.  This does not appear to be a new
issue, so I'm not going to reject for it, but please fix soon.

Also, the file says:

Redistribution and use is allowed according to the terms of the BSD license.

The file COPYING says:

The CMake scripts included with this library are also free software;
you can redistribute them and/or modify them under the terms of the
BSD License reproduced in COPYING-CMAKE-SCRIPTS.

And then COPYING-CMAKE-SCRIPTS has an actual copy of a BSD like license.  You
might suggest to upstream that they change LibKompareDiff2Config.cmake.in to
say something like:

Redistribution, modification, and use is allowed according to the terms of the
license contained in COPYING-CMAKE-SCRIPTS.

Since there are many BSD licenses, "terms of the BSD license" isn't
particularly clear.
