Hi, during packaging of casacore <http://bugs.debian.org/686924> which is licensed as LGPL-2, I found a file that contradicts this license and is also not DFSG compliant (install/printer/range.c; has a "you may not sell this program" clause).
I asked the original author (which has no relation to upstream) whether he could put the file under LGPL, and he agreed. Also, the upstream authors are informed. However, how shall I deal/document this in the copyright file? Is it enough to just put a note there (and possibly put a patch with the license change into debian/patches), or shall I still create a +dfsg tarball by removing the file in question and then re-add the newly licensed file with a patch? I just don't want to wait until upstream releases a new version with possibly changing the copyright info in this file.
