There are very frequent wording differences in the exact terms of this license between different packages, and any version that doesn't exactly match the wording that we include in common-licenses still legally needs to be reproduced in the package's copyright file. And this is an error that's very hard to find with Lintian. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
