Package: libcarp-clan-perl Version: 6.02-1 Severity: serious Tags: upstream fixed-upstream Justification: Policy 2.3
Upstream Carp-Clan 6.02 has no licenses. Its META.yml file contains: license: ~ and the README file doesn't say anything about the license either. I doubt that the fact the author distributed the Artistic.txt and GNU_GPL.txt files is sufficient from a legal point of view (note that for some software, such license files apply only to some part of the software). Without a license for the whole module distribution, one can look at what individual files say. lib/Carp/Clan.pm says: ## This module is free software and can ## be used, modified and redistributed ## under the same terms as Perl itself. but lib/Carp/Clan.pod says nothing about the license, making at least the documentation non-free. There are also possible licensing issues with the test files, which are silent too. Anyway this licensing problem is fixed in upstream Carp-Clan 6.04: Version 6.04 24.10.2009 + Solved RT ticket #50796 (inform type of license) + Made the test suite compatible with Perl versions < v5.6.0 Version 6.03 18.10.2009 + Re-release to resolve confusion in CPAN caused by intermediate release of Carp::Clan 5.4 (backport of bugfix #50560 below for Perls < v5.6.0) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libcarp-clan-perl depends on: ii perl 5.10.1-14 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction libcarp-clan-perl recommends no packages. libcarp-clan-perl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
