Those patches fixed a bug (and two merged) that had been opened for 2
and a half years. I think it'd be useful if you tried to contact the
authors of the patches, and try to fix them instead of removing them?
Sure, the grep maintainers decided to pull out them and will go
trough the patches again.
I have bcc-ed #181378.
* Removed grep.texi from upstream tarball, 50-rgrep-info.patch and
51-dircategory-info.patch from debian/patches, the GNU Free
Documentation License from debian/copyright and debian/fdl.txt,
closes: #281647.
Still, grep.1 remains, which (a) contains verbatim paragraphs from
grep.texi yet (b) comes in the upstream tarball with a license notice.
Does this mean that grep.1 is?:
- under the GFDL, so should be removed
grep.texi is the only documentation file under the GFDL whereas
grep.1 is not.
- under the GPL (the general license of the tarball), despite
sharing contents with grep.texi
grep.1 is covered by the license of the tarball which is the GPL.
- undistributable, because it has no license attached
I don't think so. If grep.1 is undistributable so many others files
are.
grep.1 is not the only only file without an explicit license. Other
files without an explicit license are:
lib/alloca.c
lib/closeout.h
lib/hard-locale.h
lib/regex.h
lib/savedir.h
lib/xstrtol.h
po/cat-id-tbl.c
src/dosbuf.c
src/getpagesize.h
src/grepmat.c
src/vms_fab.c
src/vms_fab.h
vms/config_vms.h
config.h
