Package: xboard
Version: 4.8~git20140119-1
Severity: normal
While looking at how xboard handled the DEC license issue for
shogivar, which uses code from XBoard, I noticed the following
problem:
The copyright-format spec says "The last paragraph that matches a
particular file applies to it.", but the XBoard copyright file first
declares all files GPL-3+, and then declares all files as exception
using the DEC license, so strictly speaking that renders the initial
GPL3+ stance dead code.
