Howdy, maintainers! One of our trainees spotted some issues in the debian/copyright file that he wanted to pass along.
I've marked this package for accept, I personally err on the side of having y'all fix this in the archive, given this is binNEW, and the resulting tarball appears to still be distributable. This is, however some policy points that ought to get addressed as soon as you could. Thank you very much! Paul (but actually our Trainee!) - d/c mentions Files: * License: LGPL-2.1 In fact that should be LGPL-2.1+ for what I see in the vast majority of the files, although, effectively, some are LGPL-2.1(only). Source files in libpolyml are licensed with the two versions of LGPL and I gather that they all participate in the build of the same artifact. /Maybe a prod to upstream would be in place to clarify the licensing terms as I doubt there is any sensible reason as to how some files are + and other are (only). - PolyPerf\PolyPerf.cpp has Copyright (c) 2011, 2019 David C.J.
