I think you misunderstand how the GPL works. The GPL is known to be
viral, and licenses compatible with the GPL are indeed compatible with
it because they allow to be covered under the GPL. The whole work in
the end is covered by the GPL, and thus it is in my understanding
allowed to write it that way.
This issue is not about GPL. It is about Debian Policy, which says in 12.5:
"Every package must be accompanied by a verbatim copy of its distribution license(s) in
the file /usr/share/doc/PACKAGE/copyright."
So it is actually a Policy violation. But I am not raising severity again to keep things
calm. If you soubt that please contact FTP Master.
