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.

Hello Dimitry,
I have checked the files but I come to a different conclusion. 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,
Markus
