Bug#801606: Placnet packaged for Debian [ftpmaster@ftp-master.debian.org: placnet_1.03-1_amd64.changes REJECTED]
Hi,
on behalf of the Debian Med team that is creating official Debian
packages of software relevant in biology I have packaged placnet[1].
Unfortunately before it will be accepted in Debian there is some need
for clarification of the license.
At the bottom of the placnet web page[2] the license "Creative Commons
Attribution License" is mentioned. However there are different versions
of this license that make a difference dor fistributors. Our ftpmaster
considers this link
https://spdx.org/licenses/CC-BY-4.0
as the text which is potentially intended as license text but I would
like to ask you for confirmation that this is true.
Kind regards
Andreas.

Hi Andreas,
unfortunately I didn't find any license/copyright information in the source tarball.
According to the website the license is CC-BY. As the software has been developed
long after CC-4.0 has been released, I am wondering why you put CC-BY-3.0 in your
debian/copyright.
So I am afraid there is need for clarification.
Thorsten
