Honestly, this package probably should just be removed.  Most of the
scripts aren't maintained upstream anymore and are of questionable
utility.

I had been intending to split the package up anyway, but I'll probably
just package a couple of the more useful/maintained ones and then just
RM vim-scripts.

Bug#1051063: vim-scripts: no license assumption must be non-free

2023-09-01 Thread Bastian Germann

Source: vim-scripts
Severity: serious
Version: 20210124.2

In vim-script's copyright file, the following assumption is written:

"Summary of license information of each script is reported below. For scripts
which license is "no license" it is assumed in good faith that having being
posted on vim.org their licence is at least as free as the licence of Vim
itself."

This assumption is wrong. International copyright agreements unfortunately make
those files non-DFSG-free.

Please move them affected files to a new source package with Section: 
non-free/editors.
