Package: git-core Version: 1:1.5.5.4-1 Severity: minor Tags: patch The copyright information in debian/copyright currently states that everything is released under GPL-2. This is not true:
* mozilla-sha1/* is released under MPL-1.1 or GPL-2 (or later), * xdiff/* is LGPL-2.1 (or later). Also the copyright years should be updated to 2003-2008. The attached patch converts debian/copyright to the proposed machine-readable format [1]. Please apply it or add the relevant information to debian/copyright in some other way. Regards, Ansgar

It also adds missing information about files licensed under other terms than GPL-2: xdiff/* is released under the LGPL-2.1 (or later), mozilla-sha1 under MPL-1.1 or GPL-2 (or later).
