Hello, I thought I should possibly comment on the rejection email for those who read this the first time. We can fix this and reupload. It is just this first version of the packaging that is rejected, not the software per se.

Hi Sebastian, unfortunately I have to reject your package. Please mention all files licensed under a BSD license (e.g. linuxcnc/lib/python/qtvcp/widgets/nurbs_editor.py and some other python files) in your debian/coypright.
The copyright-check is at the very core of what FTPmasters do prior to letting any new software in. And, frankly, I could have done a much better job in my preparation of the upload to check this and not blindly follow that "all GPL-2". Apologies and thanks to FTPmaster Thorsten for what now effectively is his contribution to the packaging.
Please also mention all files under GPL-3+ in your debian/copyright. There are more files available under GPL-2 as you wrote in your debian/copyright (e.g. linuxcnc/src/hal/components/*). Please mention all of them in your debian/copyright. Please also mention all files under the Boost Software License in your debian/copyright. Please also mention all files under a CC-3 license in your debian/copyright.
I will do all the above.
Please remove all files licensed under CC-2.5 license from your source tarball, as this license is not compatible with DFSG.
The CC-2.5 license is something you (Sebastian?) please have a look at. Removal, reimplementation or relicensing by the original authors are our options.
As the file headers contain information about the different copyright holder, please mention them in your debian/copyright. Stating only "the LinuxCNC developers" is not enough.
That is something I did not want to address myself to avoid negative vibes among those contributors who are not explicitly mentioned. I suggest to keep the current wording and add all the names underneath that appear in the source tree.
Thanks! Thorsten
Thank you! Steffen
