Dear Taylor, In the hope of speeding up and strenghtening the processing of the NEW queue I had a look at your package. The rationale is explained in the proposal in the following wiki page: http://wiki.debian.org/CopyrightReview I noted that the Bison exception was missing from the license of src/libcue/cue_parser.c, and that some programs with similar licences as src/libcue/cue_parser.c and config/ltmain.sh were not mentionned. There are other files in the sources with a license that is not listed in debian/copyright (Makefile.in, configure, src/libcue/Makefile.in and aclocal.m4), but not mentionning them is usually accepted (actually, it is the same for config/ltmain.sh, config/ylwrap, config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/depcomp and config/missing). It is up to you to add them is you wish. Here is a patch that addes the Bison exception and the missing files for the licenses already listed, plus does a few minor changes. Feel free to add it and reupload to NEW, it will not change your rank in the queue. diff --git a/debian/copyright b/debian/copyright index 9b92573..28dccc7 100644 --- a/debian/copyright +++ b/debian/copyright @@ -5,8 +5,8 @@ Copyright: Copyright © 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, Svend Sorensen Copyright © 2009, Jochen Keil -File: config/ltmain.sh -License: GPL-2 +File: config/ltmain.sh, config/ylwrap, config/config.guess, config/config.sub, config/depcomp, config/missing +License: GPL-2+ with Autoconf exception This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or @@ -26,8 +26,8 @@ License: GPL-2 configuration script generated by Autoconf, you may include it under the same distribution terms that you use for the rest of that program. -File: src/libcue/cue_parser.c -License: GPL-2 +File: src/libcue/cue_parser.c, src/libcue/cue_parser.h +License: GPL-2+ with Bison exception This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) @@ -43,6 +43,16 @@ License: GPL-2 Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA. + As a special exception, you may create a larger work that contains + part or all of the Bison parser skeleton and distribute that work + under terms of your choice, so long as that work isn't itself a + parser generator using the skeleton or a modified version thereof + as a parser skeleton.
