Package: audacious Version: 3.9-2 Severity: serious Per Debian policy 2.3:
"Every package must be accompanied by a verbatim copy of its copyright information and distribution license in the file /usr/share/doc/package/copyright (see Copyright information for further details)." The file /usr/share/doc/audacious/copyright shipped in the Debian package is out of date and does not match the current Audacious license (GPL3 vs. BSD 2-clause). Worse, the Debian package patches out[1] the upstream license file which is normally installed under /usr/share/audacious/COPYING and visible in the "About" window when running Audacious. You are currently distributing Audacious in violation both of our license and of Debian's own policy. Please include the original upstream license, verbatim, in the Debian package, or stop distributing Audacious. Thank you, John Lindgren Audacious maintainer [1] https://sources.debian.org/patches/audacious/3.9-2/use-system-licenses.patch/
