Bug#523093: Upstream copyright/license violation, undistributable



Please note that this project in its current form contains swathes of
major copyright violations and cannot be uploaded to Debian - almost all
source files contain Tomboy source, with Copyright unilaterally changed.

Compare, for an example,
http://gitorious.org/projects/gnote/repos/mainline/blobs/master/src/preferencesdialog.cpp to http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/tomboy/trunk/Tomboy/PreferencesDialog.cs?revision=2349&view=markup

This kind of rewrite is completely permitted under Tomboy's license -
changing the copyright without the author's permission is not.

Tomboy's upstream have been alerted, and are trying to contact the GNote
author to resolve the issue - until then, GNote cannot be considered
suitable for Debian.
