Source: cups-filters
Version: 1.0.18-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 12.5

While casually looking through a few randomly selected
debian/copyright files, I noticed that the copyright file for
cups-filters is seriously misleading and incomplete.

For example, it lists the Debian maintainer as the copyright owner of
install-sh, configure, CHANGES.txt and a few others, with GPL-2+ as
the license. At least install-sh is wrong in that list, as it is not
under the GPL-2, and was written by Apple/MIT.

The licenses of files under filter/fontembed are not documented at
all, nor is filter/PDFError.h.

I have not checked further than these, but this is already enough to
report a serious bug, as licenses for *all* files must be properly
documented, and not misattributed.
