Dear Reto, Xavier and Ludovic, In the hope of speeding up and strenghtening the processing of NEW I had a look at your package. The rationale is explained in the proposal in the following wiki page: http://wiki.debian.org/CopyrightReview I could not find on-line traces of the relicensing of PolyORB to the GPL. Maybe you can clarify if the Maintainer's note comes from a private email or a file in the subversion repository. Although I could not download the orig.tar.gz file of your package, I checked out the PolyORB Subversion sources and found files in ./testsuite/idls/test* with the following header: // Copyright (c) 1997 X/Open Company Ltd., A member of The Open Group. // // All rights reserved. No part of this source code may be reproduced, // stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form or by any // means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, // except as stated in the end-user licence agreement, without the prior // permission of the copyright owners. It is unclear what the end-user licence agreement is; maybe it can be clarified?

If these files are included in your orig.tar.gz file, you will probably have to document them in debian/copyright in order for your package to be accepted.
