Package: latex-beamer
Version: 3.01-1
Severity: serious

latex-beamer does not contain any general license statement that would
cover all files included.  Most of the file contain a short reference to
the GPL or LPPL, but many do not:

$ egrep -c "GNU Public License|LaTeX Project Public License" \
    `find latex-beamer-3.06/ -type f` | egrep -v '1$|pdf:0$' | wc -l
42

(this was from upstream's tar.gz, no debian subdirectory here).

There might be some false positives among them, but some I checked, and
some jpeg files don't seem to have a source available.  I could also not
find any other indication that these files should be covered by the GPL.

Please clear this up with the upstream author.  The best thing would be
if he adds a statement to README and refers to the list in FILES
(excluding those with LPPL) or something similar.

Note that I am currently checking the licenses of everything included in
the tetex-base orig.tar.gz - this is how I found the problem -, and
that I will therefore sooner or later come across the seminar package.
Therefore you need *not* verify the DFSG-freeness of the original
version of beamerexamples-seminar.tex, only for the changes made by the
beamer people.

Regards, Frank

Maintainer: teTeX maintainers <debian-tetex-maint@lists.debian.org>
Changed-By: Frank Küster <frank@debian.org>
Description: 
 latex-source2e-doc - source2e.pdf, the documentation of the LaTeX kernel
 tetex-src  - teTeX texmf source files
Closes: 392027
Changes: 
 tetex-src (3.0.dfsg.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * New repackaged upstream tarball, removed non-free files from the
     beamer package (closes: #392027) [frank]
   * Move debhelper from Build-Depends-Indep to Build-Depends, it is used
     in the clean target.
   * Some minor fixes to make lintian happier, including the increase of
     the Standards Version to 3.7.2 (no changes needed).  There are still
     lintian warnings and even errors; none of them is important for this
     type of package, but it might be worth to fix it upstream in the long
     run. [frank]
