No, I agree there is no bug here. You might consider explicitly mention above clarification in debian/copyright, since evidently I am not alone in (wrongly!) stumbling on that confusing really-a-license-but-obsolete. But I fully understand if you feel that is superfluous (especially since I notice that you did not find it relevant to use machine-readable copyright file format).

I forgot to answer to the second part of your report: > The file COPYING.OLD similarly contains this notice: > > The following copyright applied to the Windows DLL code (windll/*), > distributed with UnZip version 5.2 and later: The file COPYING.OLD says this at the top: This file contains some details about the copyright history of contributions to the UnZip project. So, as before, this is included for historical purposes only (note the usage of "applied" which means *past* in English). Those are clearly not the current license terms. Thanks.

Package: unzip Version: 6.0-21 Severity: serious Tags: upstream Justification: Policy 2.1 -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 unzip.c contains the following notice: Copyright on recmatch() from Zip's util.c (although recmatch() was almost certainly written by Mark Adler...ask me how I can tell :-) ): Copyright (C) 1990-1992 Mark Adler, Richard B. Wales, Jean-loup Gailly, Kai Uwe Rommel and Igor Mandrichenko. Permission is granted to any individual or institution to use, copy, or redistribute this software so long as all of the original files are included unmodified, that it is not sold for profit, and that this copy- right notice is retained. The file COPYING.OLD similarly contains this notice: The following copyright applied to the Windows DLL code (windll/*), distributed with UnZip version 5.2 and later: * Copyright (c) 1996 Mike White. * Permission is granted to any individual or institution to use, * copy, or redistribute this software so long as all of the original * files are included, that it is not sold for profit, and that this * copyright notice is retained. In both cases the phrase "not sold for profit" makes the license non-DFSG-free. - Jonas -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEn+Ppw2aRpp/1PMaELHwxRsGgASEFAlnsSMkACgkQLHwxRsGg ASFPRQ/+LCfq1MayfP8Oq50b6Ud+mPlQ3ZtV/YW7a5Uoi7QOQ1fBAyYMSWsZAfVY UjSU6AgJRiACgkBty8KRSL1uuQIYZLPc3npgKyywsAtPUlpUYwh0MGj9GEgkqkCS DVtXiR2L6NhK70+bYrFzzQzelRApgFRWnwCI7+n79ZWj8ZraAMYLLIwQ1EI62fuy wgV2jdQWh4Cyb+ntckoGCFMiRzH2ABBMtPN8AMBGulZWePAHxT2f91L54KB1DVvr XUCMHUPZt8VzG4qsyF25uMxqpaGDEL5FIiY7fqTfza+UswPhqLFC1WFHPU+fl3vf cOl8A2YK1FFjIC2qCiCNVixwk38IUhyL9NVj0ntN4MjaB+L8TYr2GaxCeEut58v2 36F9IXZODj3941d7v2B9UZ7qpalKKMpiVW+jO+I16BlzDNy57LN8Gqjo07thaB9B Ga6YUKabNiUh6IzQ54s2i5JfLsi6k+Oqh8v93mlm+uoiptaxO7dXl3etQD/R6IwN ZDiXWbgPB2TqfmXecNvgthPgfXItE7NMaIXSQPWv2FrkGVRyLGppqQmyHCxG3p9v l+YCiKHoBrCzfISCTpl1By6UMTgbQq1IEa25O7l6KwsDV7Y4NSinavlp8265ER59 rTZDQITU7y/vXoG1WrSq3O7IHEXgMh2OcW1MYYcl/w/kHUcXBwk= =XkK+ -END PGP SIGNATURE-
