How should lintian "cover" it? As it's not in common-licenses, and isn't considered deprecated or problematic in any of the other ways which lintian reports issues in licenses there doesn't seem to be anything to cover. > I get the following error when running lintian. > > E: python-configshell: copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl This, otoh, is indeed a false positive. My suspicion is that it's caused by the full text of AGPL3 including the text The GNU General Public License permits which matches the regular expression used by lintian to detect the GPL and needs tightening.
