License issues

[Frank Küster <frank@debian.org>]

Hi,

prompted by Ralfs finding that the license for Utopia is missing I had a
look at our copyright file, and here are some points I'd like to change
or discuss.

1. Organization of the files

- I think we should concatenate the current debian/copyright and the
  per-binary License file to one per-binary copyright file.  It
  shouldn't be hard to do, and it conforms better with letter and intent
  of Policy.

- I have (in my local copy) added some of the explanatory parts from
  tetex-base's copyright.headers (but not the whole lengty procedural
  details) to the copyright file.

- I have also added again the license texts, or referrers to
  /usr/share/doc/common-licenses

- We should install the lppl with texlive-common.  Currently it's in
  tl-latex-base, but there might also be generic macros under that
  license which don't depend on tl-latex-base.

  Hm, is it possible in tpm2deb.cfg to combine "move" with automatic
  symlink creation in the old binary package?  I fear not...

2. Individual issues

there's a list of "known problems" in tetex-base's copyright.headers.
Some of them are still open, some might have been solved, with others
I'm very unsure.  In particular, 

- euler: LPPL according changelog, but no indication in file.

What was that supposed to mean?  I only see eulervm fonts, which are
lppl, but what and where are the euler fonts themselves?  

Thanks for caring,
Frank
