Subject: subversion-tools: copyright file incomplete
Package: subversion-tools
Version: 1.4.0-5
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

The copyright file is not precise about the contents of the source
tarball. The contrib directory contains code that is not licensed under
the subversion license. About half of it is, but BSD and GPL code is
also there. There is even a Apache License 2.0 file there.

I have done a grep for copyright in the contrib directory and found only
the described licenses. No DFSG problems were found.

Attached is a patch to the copyright file.
