Package: baobab
Severity: important

Hi,
I did not check whether this bug ist still present in testing or
unstable, if it is not please close it again.
Help -> Abount -> License says "GPL", which is GPL version 1
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-1.0.txt:
| If the Program does not specify a version number of the license,
| you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
| Foundation.
According to its source code baobab is licensed und GPL v2 or later.
/usr/share/doc/baobab/copyright:
| ...
| License:
|
| GPL, see /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2
Bug 1 (this is the upstream-part):
Online-Help says GPL, which includes v1 and any later version but
according to the source code v1 is not allowed.
Bug 2:
/usr/share/doc/copyright is misleading, since it uses only "GPL" without
a version number, although source code mentions v2 or later. It should
better be written as something like:
| License:
|
| GNU General Public License, version 2 or later.
|
| On Debian GNU/Linux systems, the complete text of the GNU General Public
| License version 2 can be found in `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2',
| later versions can be found in the same directory.
Regards,
Carsten

Version: 2.4.2-1.1+rm
The baobab package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/424139 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
