I noticed it yesterday.
The problem is that the package contains missing and depcomp that are
distributed under the GPL-2+ licence with an exception.
I reported this fact by saying that the license of these files is "GPL-2+ or
Expat" and adding the exception text in the licence description.
I just read again the copyright format description, and probably I just should
report "GPL-2+ with Autoconf exception" instead and avoid to put a long license
description.
Is this the right way to proceed?
If yes, in other packages I added exceptions by adding each exception in a
license section on its own and then using the "and" keyword. Do you think I
should change those
package to use the "with XXX exception" form?
Bests,
Giulio.
