Title:
u-wallpapers include Creative Commons v2 licenses which are
controversial
Status in ubuntu-wallpapers package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The Ubuntu Wallpapers for 15.10 include Creative Commons version 2
licensed photos.

wallpapers/ubuntu/revision/166
This is in contrast to what was in debian/copyright up until that
point and what I believe the guidelines say:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Backgrounds
There's good reason to have version 3 of Creative Commons by the
minimum standard.
It is widely believe in Debian that version 2 isn't good enough.
(Version 1 is definitively believed to have not been DFSG-compatible).
See
https://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses
#Creative_Commons_Attribution_Share-Alike_.28CC-BY-SA.29_v4.0
And see bug 1588938 as just one example, where Debian developers
reported the issue with CC version 2 files to the GNOME developers who
replaced the images in the new release.
To summarize, Creative Commons version 2 licenses should be avoided in
Ubuntu because they are mostly avoided in Debian.
