Package: ncurses Severity: serious Version: 5.5-1
David Turner noticed the following, and I just wanted to make sure it was kept track of in Debian as well. As you can tell, it's already been forwarded upstream. ------------ | From: David Turner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | I was just flipping through the ncurses files and found a bunch without | license notices (and a few with bogus notices). test/* are missing | notices. form/fty_* has the following notice: | | | * THIS CODE IS SPECIFICALLY EXEMPTED FROM THE NCURSES PACKAGE COPYRIGHT. | * You may freely copy it for use as a template for your own field types. | * If you develop a field type that might be of general use, please send | * it back to the ncurses maintainers for inclusion in the next version. | --- | | This seems to permit *less* than the simple permissive license that most | of the rest of ncurses under -- specifically, it doesn't allow | distribution. | | Many of the files that aren't .c, .cc or .h files are missing notices | too. | | If you have questions about how to fix this, please feel free to contact | me. | | | -- | David Turner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | GPL Compliance Engineer | Free Software Foundation ---------- Don Armstrong -- Debian's not really about the users or the software at all. It's a large flame-generating engine that the cabal uses to heat their coffee -- Andrew Suffield (#debian-devel Fri, 14 Feb 2003 14:34 -0500) http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu
