Package: ruby-dbm Severity: serious User: paul...@debian.org Usertags: ftp X-Debbugs-CC: ftpmas...@ftp-master.debian.org thanks
I've filed the bug since I wasn't sure if my email made it through due to SMTP issues. Since I didn't see anything in git or any other acks, I'll file the bug to help with tracking the issue. I've marked this package for ACCEPT last night. The debian/coypright file describes source files, not binaries. It looks like ruby-dbm's copyright file added GPL-3+ because of the GDBM implementation we link to, which is a welcome degree of diligence I do appreciate, but it may change without the involvement of this source package (if the implementation were to change, or how a downstream changes the way the deb is built). If we had to list all the licensing information of all our build-deps / links, things would get very messy indeed! I'd expect someone to look through the dependency tree iff they need to determine the binary distribution terms. paultag (on behalf of the ftpteam)
