Hi,

did you not use pristine-tar when you imported the tarball or did you
just forget to push the branch? Also, where did you find the information
that it's GPL-2+? The SPKG.txt claims it's public domain:
http://git.sagemath.org/sage.git/tree/build/pkgs/combinatorial_designs/SPKG.txt

Best,
Tobias
