The copyright notice is wrong: SPI does not own the copyrights for the web site, so we can't change the license. I discussed these problems with Mako at Debconf4. We decided to ask the OPL author to release a new version of the license that was free. Mako also said that he'd discuss what the copyright notice should say with our lawyer. I haven't heard back on either issue, though. -- Matt
