Package: fbpanel
Version: 7.0-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 4.5
Hello,
many thanks for fixing the recently reopened bug #585795 so quickly!
I was taking a look at the debian/copyright file [1] and I noticed that
the license for my two icons is not correctly described.
[1] https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/f/fbpanel/copyright-7.0-2
The debian/copyright file of fbpanel/7.0-2 states:
Files: debian/terminal_color.svg debian/terminal_sketch.svg
Copyright: 2011-2012 Francesco Poli
License: GPL-2
which is correct (well, almost: I rediscovered that the actual
copyright year is 2010, sorry for stating otherwise previously...),
but then the stanza for GPL-2 says "either version 2 of the License,
or (at your option) any later version.", which is *not* correct!
It would be OK for GPL-2+, but I only licensed the two
icons under GPL-2 (that is to say, version 2 *only*!).
The correct license information should be:
Files: debian/terminal_color.svg debian/terminal_sketch.svg
Copyright: 2010 Francesco Poli
License: GPL-2
and
License: GPL-2

Comment: On Debian systems, the complete text of the GNU General
Public License version 2 can be found in the file
`/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2'.
Moreover, and even *more importantly*, I took a look a the fbpanel/7.0-2
source tree.
I cannot find any indication that fbpanel is actually under GPL-2
or GPL-2+ !!!!
There are a number of files with no embedded licensing information
and a general COPYING file which, I assume, describes the copying
conditions for those files. This COPYING file is almost identical
to the Expat license [2] (it only misses an "OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS"
in the disclaimer of warranty).
[2] http://www.jclark.com/xml/copying.txt
There are other files with different copyright holders, which
embed licensing information and seem to be licensed under LGPL-2+ ...
Maybe other files are under different (hopefully compatible!) licenses.
Please review the licensing status of the entire source tree and
document it properly in the debian/copyright file!
Thanks for your time.
Bye!
