Hello. In this bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/572245 a user complains that the file containing the "Artistic License" (among many other others) has embedded tabs, which might result in the text not being displayed the same on all systems. I would fix this myself in the Debian base-files package, but the license is an official document and I don't think it would be right for me to do that. However, this would be very easy to fix on your side: expand Artistic > A mv A Artistic If the new file is included in a future perl release (say 5.10.2), I will take that as the original. [ Note: The FSF has already done this: They have just "expanded" all their licenses in text format at ftp.gnu.org ]. Follows the original report: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Pompee William <william.pom...@gmail.com> To: mainto...@bugs.debian.org Date: Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:02:02 +0100 Subject: Bug#572245: Titles not centered in licenses files Package: base-files Version: 5lenny5 Severity: minor Distribution: stable Section: main Architecture: amd64 Hello, I noticed that several licenses files (Artistic, GFDL-1.2, GPL-2, GPL-3, LGPL-2, LGPL-2.1, LGPL-3) may differ from the originals in the manner they are displayed because of the use of the tab character to mainly (but not only) align titles. The space character should be use instead providing a constant alignment using any text viewer|editor.
