Package: libcurl3 Version: 7.21.2-1 Severity: normal The file libcurl3/lib/security.c is derived from a file licensed with the attribution-required BSD license. According to clause 2, "Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution."
There is a brief mention at the end of /usr/share/doc/libcurl3/README: Curl contains pieces of source code that is Copyright (c) 1998, 1999 Kungliga Tekniska H�gskolan. This notice is included here to comply with the distribution terms. There are two problems with this: 1) Clause 2 actually requires not only the copyright notice, but also the "list of conditions and the following disclaimer" in the documentation, which are missing in the README. 2) This notice shouldn't actually be in /usr/share/doc/libcurl3/README -- it should be in /usr/share/doc/libcurl3/copyright, to facilitate small debian-based distributions which often trim non-copyright information from /usr/share/doc.
