Bug#420701: GFDL is now in common-licenses
Simon Josefsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: How about fixing the stylistic issue of saying 'For example, ..., and so on.'? Actually, the filenames doesn't strike me as examples at all. How about 'In particular, /usr/..., respectively.' instead? And make sure the paths are given in the same order as the text. Btw, the path to the LGPL v2.0 license is missing. Here is a new patch that incorporates this change as well as the fix for #431109. If anyone has any objections, please raise them; otherwise, this will go into the next release, since the current language is pretty clearly broken and this is at least an improvement. --- orig/policy.sgml +++ mod/policy.sgml @@ -8653,21 +8653,21 @@ p Packages distributed under the UCB BSD license, the Artistic - license, the GNU GPL, and the GNU LGPL, should refer to the - corresponding files under + license, the GNU GPL (version 2 or 3), the GNU LGPL (versions + 2, 2.1, or 3), and the GNU FDL (version 1.2) should refer to + the corresponding files under file/usr/share/common-licenses/file,footnote -p - For example, - file/usr/share/common-licenses/Artistic/file, + p + In particular, file/usr/share/common-licenses/BSD/file, - file/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL/file, - file/usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL/file, - file/usr/share/common-licenses/GFDL/file, - file/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2/file, and - file/usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL-2.1/file, and so - on.
