Bug#360095: tetex-base: Contains files with improper license statements
Package: tetex-base
Version: 3.0-16bpo1
Severity: important
An other collection bug; this time for files which do have a free
license, but have a formal error (like only including a copy of the GPL).
>From current copyright.header:
3.2.2 Normal :-) problems
- listings: LPPL, plus:
,----
| *Modification*advice*
|
| Permission is granted to modify the listings package as well as
| lstdrvrs.dtx. You are not allowed to distribute a modified version of
| the listings package or lstdrvrs.dtx unless you change the file names
| and provide the original files. In any case it is better to contact
| the address below; other users will welcome removed bugs, new
| features, and additional programming languages.
This is more restrictive than LPPL 1.3 (6.a and 6.d.2). The title is advice...
- ae: Just a formal problem, the GPL is included, but nowhere is it
explicitly stated that this license applies to the package.
contacted upstream
- antt: gust font license, unclear which files % contacted upstream
- GPL wrongly named in endfloat/readme.enf, not properly applied
