#1270759 — Bug#1080956: SaunaFS

Hi Urmas,

The d/copyright file of saunafs has some issues that need fixing:

The entire src/nfs-ganesha/ subdirectory (including dozens of source
files and its own LICENSE file) is LGPL-3+ (some files LGPL-3 only), but
debian/copyright declares the whole package and these files as GPL-3+
only. Declaring LGPL-3+ code as GPL-3+ is incorrect and makes the
copyright file inaccurate.

external/crcutil-1.0/ contains a bunch of generated build helpers that
debian/copyright claims as Apache-2.0, but are in fact more permissive
(FSFAP, and MIT)

I wonder if it makes sense if you try
   https://salsa.debian.org/newgateway-team

Kind regards
    Andreas.

Yes, the license was recently changed on upstream to LGPL-3, for better
compatibility with NFS Ganesha (which also includes the same source
code). I completely forgot about updating it here though.

Thankfully, it's starting from 5.3.0, so the package in NEW is not
affected.

I can add them, but I was told that they might be fine

I'll have a look at this.
