Package: ghdl
Severity: serious

Currently debian/copyright mentions that the package is licensed under
plain GPL and assigns this copyright only to Tristan Gingold.

But, the source tarball contains, at dir vhdl/libraries/ieee/, *.vhdl
files with this header:

-- Copyright 1995 by IEEE. All rights reserved.
--
-- This source file is considered by the IEEE to be an essential part of
the use
-- of the standard 1076.3 and as such may be distributed without change,
except
-- as permitted by the standard. This source file may not be sold or
distributed
-- for profit. This package may be modified to include additional data
required
-- by tools, but must in no way change the external interfaces or
simulation
-- behaviour of the description. It is permissible to add comments
and/or
-- attributes to the package declarations, but not to change or delete
any
-- original lines of the approved package declaration. The package body
may be
-- changed only in accordance with the terms of clauses 7.1 and 7.2 of
the
-- standard.


This copyright is not mentioned in debian/copyright, and adds
restrictions to GPL that might make this code not-DFSG compatible.
