lintian is primarily a Debian package checker, and the current Debian base-files includes the GPLv3. I expect that Ubuntu will follow. The correct long-term solution for your package is to refer to the copy of the GPLv3 in common-licenses. I can't really comment on the Ubuntu short term, since I don't know much about Ubuntu's licensing and copyright policies. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
