Package: manpages-hu
Version: 20010119-7
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.3
X-Debbugs-Cc: Mario Blättermann <[email protected]>
Short:
man8/ssh.8 states:
.\" Copyright (c) 1995 Tatu Ylonen <[email protected]>, Espoo, Finland
.\" All rights reserved
Long:
The copyright situation is very unclear. I reviewed some files and besides
the above one some are "GNU licensed" (without version), some require
redistribution of copyright information in binary versions (I'm not sure if
2.3 Nr.3 remedies this), while others don't come with any statement at all.
And debian/copyright places the burden of proof on the users in case comercial
distribution is intended (e.g. Debian downstreams like Ubuntu). I wonder how
this passed debian-legal?
(This is just a selection, e.g. man.7,tsort.1,as.1 are interesting as well…)
I tried looking at the mentioned upstream homepage, i.e.
http://lme.linux.hu/forditas/index.html
but this page is down atm.
To resolve this bug, I suggest the following:
1. Remove all pages like ssh.8 which are clearly not distributable
(After contacting with upstream or the respective authors they might
be included in later versions again, if the license is updated)
2. Create a machine readable copyright including all authors (both of the
english version and the respective translators) and the respective licenses.
3. Get the copyrights reviewed, e.g. on debian-legal, possibly catching more
pages
which cannot be distributed.
4. Check with upstream about a newer version. The pages are *old*. Is this
really a
service to your users?
5. Talk to manpages-l10n for integration of those pages, where copyright allows
so.
This way the maintance both for legal reasons and for updating (we use po4a)
is
vastly improved. Bonus if some translators are available, who could update
the
pages (its much easier with po4a).
