--- Begin Message ---Source: colorpicker Version: 1.0.0-2 Severity: normal Usertags: dfsg Some files have fairly disturbing text of license grant: ~~~~ You may not use, copy or modify this software, except in accordance with the license agreement you entered into with Jeremy Wood. For details see accompanying license terms. ~~~~ I'm not even sure if this is a reference to modified BSD-3-Clause license from "License.html" as the latter does not mention Jeremy Wood in the text of the license. I believe this text of license grant is not DFSG compliant as (most) users are unlikely to be in any direct license agreement with copyright owner. Please investigate. -- All the best, Dmitry Smirnov GPG key : 4096R/53968D1Bsignature.asc

The grant explicitly mentions: "For details see accompanying license terms." And the license terms are written down in License.html which is the BSD-3-clause license. Although the grant is unusual but not completely unknown, the accompanying license file makes it clear that all files in this package are covered by the modified BSD license. The upstream version has been left unchanged since it entered the archive. I am pretty sure the FTP team would have voiced their concerns if the package had not been DFSG-compliant. Thus I'm going to close this bug report now. Regards, Markussignature.asc
