Package: psutils
Version: 1.17-32
Severity: serious
User: gnewsense-...@nongnu.org
Usertags: gnewsense libreplanet

The license file in the psutils source code [1] contains the statement

=================================Quote=================================
The included files, md68_0.ps and md71_0.ps (and their uuencoded forms)
are (to the best of my knowledge) copyright Apple Computer, Inc.
=================================Quote=================================

This is an issue for multiple reasons:
1) The copyright is unclear/unknown.  Who holds the copyright to these
files?
2) If it is in fact Apple Computer what license is it under?  They do
not appear to be under a free license.

Potential fixes:
gNewSense GNU/Linux removed both files along with fixmacps[2]

I am using Trisquel GNU/Linux 5.5 kernel 3.0.0-23-generic however the
issue is present in Debian as well by viewing the source code [1].  The
associated Trisquel GNU/Linux bug can be found in the references [3].
