The rednotebook upstream author added txt2tags.py and then GPL-2 license data to his project prior to the txt2tags author changing his licensing to GPL-2+. This is why the data was bad in rednotebook. Updating (as done) to the now correct GPL-2+ txt2tags.py brings everything up to date and rectifies the situation. > appdata_path_and_description.patch shouldn't be executable. True. Happened on sid VM and cannot explain why as of yet. Will be rectified in next upload. > rednotebook/external/txt2tags.py should have a section in d/copyright.
