When I run "lintian -I" on the .changes for theunarchiver, it shows the
following tags:
I: theunarchiver source: unused-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright paragraph 6
gpl-2+
I: theunarchiver source: unused-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright paragraph 8
mpl-1.1
However, these paragraphs are used as follows:
Files: UniversalDetector/universalchardet/*
Copyright: 1998, Netscape Communications Corporation
License: MPL-1.1 or GPL-2+ or LGPL-2.1+
This matches one of the examples in DEP5, which says:
Files: src/js/editline/*
Copyright: 1993, John Doe
1993, Joe Average
License: MPL-1.1 or GPL-2 or LGPL-2.1
I believe that Lintian is correct here. Stand-alone License paragraph
matching each license short name listed in the first line of License is
required only if remaining lines of the field are left blank. But this
is not the case here:
Files: UniversalDetector/universalchardet/*
Copyright: 1998, Netscape Communications Corporation
License: MPL-1.1 or GPL-2+ or LGPL-2.1+
The contents of this file are subject to the Mozilla Public License Version
1.1 (the "License");
[snip - many more lines]
So in my understanding, MPL-1.1 and GPL-2+ license paragraphs are indeed
unused here.
