Dear Maintainer,

The license of debian/patches/* files is ambiguous as defined in the
debian/copyright file.
libcg is under LGPL-2.1 license whereas all files into the debian/
folder are under GPL-3 including all patches.
That means either the whole package is relicensed under GPL-3 (which
seems wrong) or better all patches are under the same license of the
targeted files.

Could you clarify the license of these patches in d/copyright?

Thanks

Best,
Dylan

Hi Dylan,

Thanks for pointing this out. Hopefully, this change solves the
ambiguity:

Indeed, thanks :)

The copyright holders are probably wrong, you should add the patches authors.

Best,
Dylan

Mmmm, I am not a license-nerd, and I am not sure about that. Could you
please provide documentation about the copyright holders of patches? Do
you have examples in debian packages that give that level of detail in
d/copyright about debian/patches/*?

Best,

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
libcgroup, 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 996884@bugs.debian.org,
