Source: manpages-l10n
Version: 4.27.0-1
Severity: serious
Control: found -1 4.11.0-1
This source package contains manual pages that are basically equivalent to
those in the manpages-posix and manpages-posix-dev packages in
upstream/archlinux/man0p, upstream/archlinux/man1p, and
upstream/archlinux/man3p. These are taken from POSIX Issue 7 and to make these
manual pages available in the first place required special permission from the
IEEE and The Open Group to reproduce the standard.
In fact, translating these pages is probably prohibited as a derivative work.
In wondering how this was able to slip through, I noticed that debian/copyright
doesn't specify any licensing information for the upstream/ subdirectory which
is in this source package. This directory contains a lot of original man pages
copied from other distros and I don't see it practical to review them all—are
they really a meaningful part of the source for this package?
