Good to hear.

What I've done so far is I tried to explain the issue to upstream.

http://www2.list.logwatch.org:81/pipermail/logwatch-devel/2008-February/001882.html

As far as I know, upstream hasn't done anything so far concerning this
issue. When I asked for a new release in januar(?), the basic answer
was, we'd like to but we are busy. (You'll find the message somewhere in
the archive). I also haven't done anything so far - lack of time.

svn repository:

svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-logwatch/trunk

The directory copyright-status contains an empty file for each file in
the source tree. If the copyright status is OK, the suffix is .fixed.

I have added you to the project team members on alioth, so you should be
able to check it out and commit over ssh.

Quite useful is the upstream CVS repository, linked from the upstream
homepage.

Feel free to ask any questions.
