Package: discount Version: 2.2.0-1 Severity: important Tags: patch Hello!
I noticed that the debian/copyright file of this package incorrectly
labels the quoted license text.
According to the machine-readable format specification [1], the license
text cannot be labeled BSD-2-clause, as it is actually more similar to
the 3 clause BSD license. Nonetheless, it does not exactly match the
BSD-3-clause license text, either. It must therefore be labeled with
a non-standard short name ("BSD-3-clause-like" could be a possibility).
Moreover, the license text for configure.inc (as found in the source
package) differs from the license text for the other files. As a
consequence, a different short name has to be used.

I am attaching a patch that fixes the debian/copyright file.
Please apply it, if you agree.
Thanks for your time.
Bye.
