Package: tetex-base
Version: 2.0.2-5

| Some individual parts of this distribution may have their own
| copyright.  Please look into the respective files for their copyright.

The copyright file should list the license of all files, not tell you
to look at random other files.  [Yes, I know this is a pain for large
packages and lots of people don't do it, but...]

| Seminar and KOMA-Script have changed their licenses recently but
| there may still files that refer to their old copyrights.  Both are
| copyrighted under the LPPL (LaTeX Project Public License) now. You
| can find the text of the LPPL in the file
| /usr/share/doc/tetex-base/lppl.txt.gz.

The LPPL should be in the copyright file, not an external one.

Hi all,

I am closing these bugs now.  The license file of all affected packages
is generated from the license info in the Catalogue, and therefore is
complete. Infos for every single file are in the referenced file
"Licenses.gz".

This means that the woeful format of the copyright file is fixed.

All other issues in the bug report are also elsewhere. Converting the
copyright file to the new automatically parseable format is a different
issue, and if any detail is missing or wrong this is a separate bug,
too.

Regards, Frank
