    This is seriously wrong. Did you read the history of bug 255955
    before closing this?

    Where did you get a proper reference to the GPL from? Upstream has
    not actually licensed the program under the GPL. I have asked
    upstream to clarify, and if we don't get a reply, the package must be
    removed from Debian. Certainly the RC bug must be left open. This
    package cannot go into release without a proper license.

    ola@tigereye:~/build/debian/_qa/mmake-2.2.1$ ls -l GNUGPL.TXT LICENSE -rw-r--r-- 1 ola ola 14822 2001-02-12 23:42 GNUGPL.TXT
    -rw-r--r-- 1 ola ola 280 2001-02-12 23:42 LICENSE ola@tigereye:~/build/debian/_qa/mmake-2.2.1$


    My reference comes from that GNUGPL.TXT in the source.

    The LICENSE file is a bit short but the GNUGPL.TXT file covers
    everything just as it should. It just has an uncommon name, that
    is all.

    I can not see anything wrong with this. If you read the debian
    copyright file, you can see that I refer to that file instead
    of the file LICENSE.

    Or do you still think I did something wrong here?

    Regards,

    // Ola
