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.
