Package: wily
Version: 0.13.33-2
Severity: serious
Justification: 2.1.1

According to wily's debian/copyright the entire work is licensed under the 
Artistic License.
However, according the files in libframe and libXg appear to be proprietary:

/* Copyright (c) 1992 AT&T - All rights reserved. */

At bare minimum debian/copyright has to be updated with the correct license for 
these files.
If they are actually proprietary as they appear, this package should be removed 
from Debian.

Given the current state of the wily package, I suspect no one will ever respond 
to this bug.
Therefore, the severity is higher than it probably should be for a simple 
d/copyright mistake.
(assuming those files aren't actually proprietary)

However, I've found several copies of this library online in other projects and 
they contain the
same or slightly different (1998 Lucent Technologies) copyright notices. 

I would rather not remove working software from Debian, but it really seems 
like this package is non-free.

Sorry,
Jacob
