Package: avifile Version: 1:0.7.43.20050224-1 Priority: serious Justification: Section 2.3 "Copyright considerations"
The only copyright statement in the debian/copyright file says: Copyright: GPL (see /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL) and LGPL (see /usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL) That's plain wrong, those above are not copyright statements, they are licenses. The package fails to acknowledge who is the upstream author (and holds (c)) for the source code it contains, which is a policy violation. Thus the severity There's plenty of copyright statements in the source code that are not acknowledged in the debian/copyright file, for example, - ffmpeg is: Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard et al. - ffmpeg/libavcodec/ppc/dsputil_altivec.c says * Copyright (c) 2002 Brian Foley * Copyright (c) 2002 Dieter Shirley * Copyright (c) 2003-2004 Romain Dolbeau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - ffmpeg/libavcodec/ppc/mpegvideo_ppc.c is: * Copyright (c) 2002 Dieter Shirley And so on, the debian/copyright file has to acknowledge and document _all_ of these copyright statements.
