Package: plm
Version: 2.9.2-1.1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.3 (every file in main needs a known DFSG licence)

Upstream's own COPYING says the licence of these files is not known:

 * img/lang_c.png, img/lang_java.png, img/lang_javascript.png,
   img/lang_python.png, img/lang_ruby.png, img/lang_scala.png: "The logos
   of the programming languages are certainly free, even if I didn't dig
   for their exact licence."
 * src/lessons/sort/pancake/universe/world_pancake.png (and .svg): "It
   seems rather free, but the exact license is not known."
 * img/world_lesson.png (and .svg): "I cannot remember where it comes
   from."

debian/copyright currently covers them with the GPL-3 catch-all, which is
not what upstream says. The copyright rewrite in
https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/plm/-/merge_requests/4 declares them
honestly as of unknown licence, so lintian now reports
license-problem-undefined-license for them.

The fix belongs upstream: replace them with images under a known free
licence (or plain text labels for the language logos). I am happy to
prepare that upstream with Martin.

Regards,
Juan Manuel Méndez Rey
