I made an assumption when told the file was copied in, thinking as in with no modification and we all know what assumption leads to. :-) * txt2tags latest release was 2010 - 2.6. * txt2tags has had many *many* commits since. * txt2tags seriously needs to do a release. * rednotebook version of txt2tags.py has been modified, but is it latest upstream or upstream plus local modifications? Need to resolve. I will address the above and more with the rednotebook author and get back with information.

The rednotebook upstream author added txt2tags.py and then GPL-2 license data to his project prior to the txt2tags author changing his licensing to GPL-2+. This is why the data was bad in rednotebook. Updating (as done) to the now correct GPL-2+ txt2tags.py brings everything up to date and rectifies the situation. > appdata_path_and_description.patch shouldn't be executable. True. Happened on sid VM and cannot explain why as of yet. Will be rectified in next upload. > rednotebook/external/txt2tags.py should have a section in d/copyright. It does have. > rednotebook/external/msgfmt.py doesn't contain a license, and as it's a > file from another author it shouldn't be assumed it's under the project > license. Filed a bug upstream (rednotebook) for discussion and resolution. A new upload will follow the resolution of this.
