Package: libyaml-libyaml-perl Version: 0.38-2 Severity: serious I just noticed that this package embeds libyaml sources with no mention in either the upstream source or debian/copyright.
While the upstream source doesn't contain any copyright statements, the LICENSE file in libyaml-perl states it's Copyright (c) 2006 Kirill Simonov and licensed under a MIT/Expat license, which both we and libyaml-libyaml-perl upstream are breaching by failing to include the copyright notice. So setting the severity to 'serious'. After adding the license notices, we should document the situation as per <http://wiki.debian.org/EmbeddedCodeCopies>, and look at fixing it by linking against the shared library in the libyaml-0-2 package, (Obviously this part isn't release critical.)
