Package: tetex-base
Version: 2.0.2-9
Severity: important

For the parts of our tetex-base/extra/doc packages that are not
present in the upstream sources, but have been added as
Debian-specific code, there is no information about the copyright (i.e
which Debian developer/user contributed which parts?) and license in
debian/copyright. 

This is no good.

We should:

1. Identify all persons that have contributed significant parts of the
   Debian-specific adaptations, put their names in the individual
   files, and create corresponding Copyright entries in
   debian/copyright. 

2. Decide on a license under which we want to put the Debian-specific
   code. I suggest to use the GPL, because it is also the license of
   the teTeX distribution itself.

3. Once we've agreed on the license, everybody who know that he has
   contributed code, or plans to do this in the future, should send a
   signed mail to this bug that he puts his contribution under the
   license.

4. For people that do not react, we will bug them a little, but if
   they turn out to be unreachable (or unwilling), we should take out
   the code and implement it newly.

Regards, Frank

   [new orig.tar.gz]
   * New repackaged orig.tar.gz file to clean up license situation.  Some
     bugs are resolved only partially by this, but the remaining issues
     have been declared etch-ignore by the RM (see
     http://lists.debian.org/debian-tex-maint/2006/09/msg00317.html)
   * Removed non-free files: [frank]
     - shapepar.sty by Donald Arseneau, noncommercial (see #356853)
     - palatcm.sty and associated fd, tfm and vf files (too strict renaming
       clause, no source) (see #363061)
     - a4wide.sty and bar.sty (no permission to modify, authors cannot be
       contacted, obsolete)
     - ConTeXt documentation and fontinstallationguide (already removed
       from the binary package)
   * Update csplain.ini and cslatex.ini from new upstream version.  This is
     also done in the orig.tar.gz because of license reasons, see also
     #368968. (closes: #391017) [frank]
   * Add missing sources for the TeX Catalogue, tds.dvi and the UK-TUG
     FAQ. [frank]
   * Added again some documents that were moved to tetex-doc-nonfree, they
     are under the GFDL without invariant sections and therefore
     free-by-GR: pdftex-a.pdf, l2tabu.pdf, l2tabuen.pdf, l2kurz.pdf.  These
     files never were removed from the orig.tar.gz. [frank]
 .
   [other changes]
   * Only recreate the formats delivered by us in our postinst script, not
     all, see the discussion after closing #390129 [frank]
   * Add a license for the Debian-specific additions, now that all
     contributors have agreed (closes: #258972) [frank]
