Bug#1028101: RFS: texinfo/7.0.1-3 -- Documentation system for on-line information and printed output
Am 07.01.2023 um 16:16 teilte Bastian Germann mit: Hi Bastian, The NIV has to be represented in d/copyright regardless of having the "right" wording or not. You currently do not mention it at all. GFDL-1.3+ (no NIV) is considered non-free, so please fix this. I do not mind the lintian override then. New package is on mentors. Please be so kind to have a look. The diff is here [1] .

The GFDL variant has to be GFDL-NIV-1.3+ and the short license text that you have in d/copyright has to contain the section that is available in the matching files' boilerplate code. Please correct that and remove the overrides. The lintian override was made for the upstream source code, containing the wrong wording. The issue was forwarded upstream and addressed there [1]. The next minor upstream release will have the fix. Is that sufficient? The NIV has to be represented in d/copyright regardless of having the "right" wording or not.

Do we need it in that file? If yes, could you give an example how to reference that license correctly in d/copyright ?
