Package: libspf2 Version: 4 Severity: serious Tags: patch Justification: Policy 12.5
debian/copyright misrepresents the license as GPL/BSD, but libspf2's README file says: | The code in the libspf2 distribution is Copyright 2005 by Shevek | and Wayne Schlitt, all rights reserved. Copyright retained for the | purpose of protecting free software redistribution. | | This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify | it under the terms of either: | | a) the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free | Software Foundation; either version 2.1, or (at your option) any | later version, or | | OR | | b) The two-clause BSD license. | | [...] So the license really is LGPL/BSD. I am attaching a patch that updates debian/copyright accordingly.
