Package: silo-llnl
Version: 4.8-1
Severity: normal

Hi Alastair!
Many thanks for packaging Silo!
(I hope VisIt may follow soon... [1])

[1] http://bugs.debian.org/395573

I noticed a "little" issue with the debian/copyright file of silo-llnl:
it fails to quote the actual BSD license text verbatim, and hence fails
to comply with Debian Policy Section 4.5 [2]

[2] http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-dpkgcopyright

I think the full quote of the Legacy license terms is superfluous (if
not harmful), as they do not apply to what is actually packaged.
On the other hand, the (BSD) license terms of what is included in
the package should be quoted verbatim in the debian/copyright file.

I hope this can be fixed soon.
Thanks for your time!
