Hello! Thanks for maintaining pandoc in Debian. By looking at its debian/copyright file: http://ftp-master.metadata.debian.org/changelogs//main/p/pandoc/pandoc_1.9.4.2-2_copyright http://ftp-master.metadata.debian.org/changelogs/main/p/pandoc/unstable_copyright I see that it includes some files | Files: slidy/* | Copyright: 2005-2010, W3C (MIT, ERCIM, Keio) | License: W3C-Document and W3C-Software which are released under the terms of this "W3C-Document" license: | License: W3C-Document | By using and/or copying this document, or the W3C document from which | this statement is linked, you (the licensee) agree that you have read, | understood, and will comply with the following terms and conditions: | . | Permission to copy, and distribute the contents of this document, or | the W3C document from which this statement is linked, in any medium for | any purpose and without fee or royalty is hereby granted, provided that | you include the following on ALL copies of the document, or portions | thereof, that you use: | . | A link or URL to the original W3C document. | The pre-existing copyright notice of the original author, or if it | doesn't exist, a notice (hypertext is preferred, but a textual | representation is permitted) of the form: "Copyright © | [$date-of-document] World Wide Web Consortium, (Massachusetts | Institute of Technology, European Research Consortium for | Informatics and Mathematics, Keio University).

[underlining added by me] These files seem to fail DFSG#3, unless additional permissions have been obtained (but I don't see any additional permission documented in the debian/copyright file...). If confirmed, I think this is a serious bug. Possible solutions I can think of: • persuading the copyright holders of those files to re-license them in a DFSG-free manner (for instance, under the Expat license, under the zlib license, or under the GNU GPL v2) • dropping those files from the Debian package Please fix this issue.
