Package: devscripts Version: 2.9.20 Severity: wishlist
Hello, in out of the box discussion [1] "Grep'ing the source for copyright patterns" was suggested. It was pointed out that there is already such utility [1], that is /usr/bin/licensecheck in kdesdk-scripts package, but the annoying part is that such neat little perl script pulls in 16MB - mainly because other parts of that package depends on python[3]. Therefor, it is probably a good idea this script to be forked, renamed and included in devscripts package, thus maintained separately for debian packaging purposes, and probably tailored for DFSG-compliant licenses. Thanks for you support.
