debdiff against the version in unstable shows that there's a new theme in the package, which is licensed under GPLv3 according to gui/ExampleTheme/Rhea/COPYING. Another new file is gui/GSTest/NSOpenPanel-test/GNUmakefile which has a GPLv2+ header. debian/copyright just mentions GPL and LGPL, not which versions. Then, the following sentence in debian/copyright is wrong or is at least very misleading: "... under the GNU Public License. This means if you make changes to these programs, you cannot charge a fee, other than distribution fees, for others to use the program." GPL allows you to sell GPL'ed software for money. See http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMoney Besides: GPL is not an abbreviation for the "GNU Public License", but for "General Public License", because the short form is "GNU GPL". Same counts for "GNU Lesser Public License" which correctly reads "GNU Lesser General Public License". Both licenses are already named correctly in the last paragraph of the file, but not in the paragraphs above. The remainder looks fine on a first glance. P.S.: I'm not on the list.
