** Description changed: [ Impact ] A customer reported that linux-firmware's copyright file only refers to adaptec's license file. Please see => https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.21/copyright That being said, we are shipping many different firmware within the package. https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/amd64/linux-firmware/filelist It looks like the package ships all relevant license files under /usr/share/doc/linux-firmware/licenses/LICENSE..... Nevertheless, the copyright file does not refer to them either. There might be two possible solutions; 1) create comprehensive d/copyright file with all licenses which is very significant effort as there are many firmwares it is shipping. 2) update d/copyright file with license-file references from WHENCE.ubuntu file Could you please help addressing the issue? Thanks Bugra [ Fix ] Provide DEP-5 compliant copyright files that list all packaged firmware files and link them to the correct licensing details. [ Test Plan ] 1. Verify binary package doesn't provide any license files but a DEP-5 compliant copyright instead. - 2. Verify source package contains all relevant upstream license files. - 3. Run lintian on source package to verify all firmware files are covered in the copyright file. + 2. Run lintian on binary package, verify no errors/warnings related to copyrights. + 3. Verify source package contains all relevant upstream license files. + 4. Run lintian on source package to verify all firmware files are covered in the copyright file. [ Where Problems Could Occur ] Anything that relies on /usr/share/doc/<pkg>/licenses/* files will break.
