#331524 — Bug#1024602: bash: inaccurate copyright file

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Source: bash
Version: 5.2-2
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

The bash package's copyright file is inaccurate.

It includes the Bash exemption that refers to GPL-2 while Bash was relicensed to GPL-3 and lost that exemption.

bashref.texi does not have the following as part of its license (anymore?):
"Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim copies of
this manual provided the copyright notice and this permission notice
are preserved on all copies."

The Bison exception is missing.

GPL-2+ is missing.

I have attached a machine-readable copyright file that solves these issues.

More features of the attached copyright file:
Files-Excluded for automatic repacking with #1024598 taken into account.
BSD-4-clause's advertisement clause is removed per allowance of the University of Berkeley.
doc/FAQ's non-free license is removed.
You should also remove the file debian/FAQ because the FAQ is not maintained anymore upstream.

The copyright and licenses of the embedded fonts of the non-source files in the doc directory are not included.
You should instead get rid of them and build them from source if needed.
