Package: gnat-gps-doc
Severity: serious
Justification: license issue

The file docs/users_guide/license.rst in the pristine upstream tarball
contains the GFDL. It is included by docs/users_guide/index.rst, which
mentions no invariant parts or cover texts, so the documentation
complies to the DFSG. However..

Upstream authors used to claim that all the whole archive was licensed
under the GPL, though some obsolete boilerplates were telling a
different story. The Debian .orig archive used to be repackaged to
clarify this issue.

A recent statement [1] by upstream authors makes it explicit that the
documentation *is* licensed under the GFDL.

It seems that gnat-gps must be repackaged again with the correct
licensing.

Maybe this is the opportunity to also remove the embedded copy of
libgnatcoll lying in the gnatlib/ subdirectory (see debian/TODO).
