Sure, the grep maintainers decided to pull out them and will go trough the patches again. I have bcc-ed #181378. >> * Removed grep.texi from upstream tarball, 50-rgrep-info.patch and >> 51-dircategory-info.patch from debian/patches, the GNU Free >> Documentation License from debian/copyright and debian/fdl.txt, >> closes: #281647. > > Still, grep.1 remains, which (a) contains verbatim paragraphs from > grep.texi yet (b) comes in the upstream tarball with a license notice. > Does this mean that grep.1 is?: > > - under the GFDL, so should be removed grep.texi is the only documentation file under the GFDL whereas grep.1 is not. > - under the GPL (the general license of the tarball), despite > sharing contents with grep.texi grep.1 is covered by the license of the tarball which is the GPL. > - undistributable, because it has no license attached I don't think so. If grep.1 is undistributable so many others files are. grep.1 is not the only only file without an explicit license. Other files without an explicit license are: lib/alloca.c lib/closeout.h lib/hard-locale.h lib/regex.h lib/savedir.h lib/xstrtol.h po/cat-id-tbl.c src/dosbuf.c src/getpagesize.h src/grepmat.c src/vms_fab.c src/vms_fab.h vms/config_vms.h config.h > Cheers, > >-- >Adeodato Simó > EM: asp16 [ykwim] alu.ua.es | PK: DA6AE621 > >Man is certainly stark mad; he cannot make a flea, yet he makes gods by the >dozens. > -- Michel de Montaigne Aníbal Monsalve Salazar -- .''`.
