Bug#630830: xorg: licenses / copyright statements missing from copyright file
Source: xorg
Version: 1:7.6+7
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 12.5
The debian/copyright for this package is confusing to me. It seems to try to
indicate that the copyright holder of this software changes depending on
whether this is a debian or a ubuntu package? Can this be clarified?
There are licenses in the source code which are not present in
debian/copyright. For example, much of the software is GPL-2 licensed, but
there is no mention of the GPL-2.
There seem to be many copyright holders which should be listed in
debian/copyright which are not.
xsf-docs/COPYING specifies a copyright holder which MUST be mentioned in
debian/copyright in order to comply with the distribution license:
