Source: pymodbus
Version: 1.2.0-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 4.5

Dear Maintainer,

The debian/copyright file lists MIT as the upstream license, but the only
references in the code are to BSD.  From setup.py in 1.2.0-2:

License :: OSI Approved :: BSD License

In the version in New that I'm reviewing for experimental, there are
additional references to BSD as well as the full text in doc/LICENSE.

Since this is a pre-existing issue with the package, I'm not rejecting due to
the issue, but it should be fixed ASAP.  Additionally, pymodbus/__init__.py
says:

TwistedModbus is built on top of the code developed by:

    Copyright (c) 2001-2005 S.W.A.C. GmbH, Germany.
    Copyright (c) 2001-2005 S.W.A.C. Bohemia s.r.o., Czech Republic.
    Hynek Petrak <hy...@swac.cz>

Released under the the BSD license

These should probably be mentioned in debian/copyright as well.
