Severity: serious

The bash package's copyright file is inaccurate.
It includes the Bash exemption that refers to GPL-2 while Bash was relicensed
to GPL-3 and lost that exemption.
bashref.texi does not have the following as part of its license (anymore?):
"Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim copies of
this manual provided the copyright notice and this permission notice
are preserved on all copies."
The Bison exception is missing.
GPL-2+ is missing.
I have attached a machine-readable copyright file that solves these issues.
More features of the attached copyright file:
Files-Excluded for automatic repacking with #1024598 taken into account.
BSD-4-clause's advertisement clause is removed per allowance of the University
of Berkeley.
doc/FAQ's non-free license is removed.
You should also remove the file debian/FAQ because the FAQ is not maintained
anymore upstream.
The copyright and licenses of the embedded fonts of the non-source files in the
doc directory are not included.
You should instead get rid of them and build them from source if needed.

As a special exception, you may create a larger work that contains
part or all of the Bison parser skeleton and distribute that work
under terms of your choice, so long as that work isn't itself a
parser generator using the skeleton or a modified version thereof
as a parser skeleton. Alternatively, if you modify or redistribute
the parser skeleton itself, you may (at your option) remove this
special exception, which will cause the skeleton and the resulting
Bison output files to be licensed under the GNU General Public
License without this special exception.
.
This special exception was added by the Free Software Foundation in
version 2.2 of Bison.
