The 3rd clause of NetBSD's BSD-4-clause is misrepresented in debian/copright. That file has UCB's advertisement clause instead. Please remove 3rd and 4th clauses (reference BSD-2-Clause) according to http://www.netbsd.org/about/redistribution.html from pack_dev.[ch]: "Third parties are encouraged to change the license on any files which have a 4-clause license contributed to the NetBSD Foundation to a 2-clause license. We would also encourage you to inform us about these files, so that we can continue to track the many places in which NetBSD is used." For the files getid.c, mtree.8, and spec.c that have the BSD-3-clause license with a different copyright holder, please reference that license instead.
Hi Bastian, Thanks for alerting me to this issue. I'm looking through the package, and virtually every file carries the UCB copyright and 3-clause license. Some ALSO carry a NetBSD copyright and 4-clause license. You mentioned getid.c, which is one of those that carries both. mtree.c has only UCB. pack_dev.c has only NetBSD. So I'm unclear what to do about these that still have a UCB statement also; should it be kept? Just want to understand what to do here. - John
For files that have two or more applicable licenses, please include both. The machine-readable copyright format has support for this with "and" or "or" keywords. Please find a fixed copyright file attached. I have identified two more issues with licenses being misrepresented in excludes.c and install-sh.
We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
mtree-netbsd, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.
A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to 1034247@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
