Hi,
this is specifically for David, but I'm sending it to the list for
everyone who might know.
The file doc/rivet-chunk.xsl contains the following statement
"This file is part of the XSL DocBook Stylesheet distribution.
See ../README or http://nwalsh.com/docbook/xsl/ for copyright
and other information."
I think the file itself is not part of XSL DocBook Stylesheet distribution,
whereas the file chunk.xsl (to which exists a reference in
rivet-chunk.xsl) is part of docbook and it's GPLed. The problem seems
to be that the link quoted in the statement is dangling and this could
bother the inflexible guardians of Debian purity, because it might or
might not have been a reference to a license that denied some rights on
the file. If my supposition is correct I would remove the statement
from the file.
This might the last open issue in a copyright file which, like
most legal stuff, has grown to an appalling length now.
