[Debian-med-packaging] Placnet packaged for Debian [ftpmaster at ftp-master.debian.org: placnet_1.03-1_amd64.changes REJECTED]

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

on behalf of the Debian Med team that is creating official Debian
packages of software relevant in biology I have packaged placnet[1].
Unfortunately before it will be accepted in Debian there is some need
for clarification of the license.

At the bottom of the placnet web page[2] the license "Creative Commons
Attribution License" is mentioned.  However there are different versions
of this license that make a difference dor fistributors.  Our ftpmaster
considers this link

    https://spdx.org/licenses/CC-BY-4.0

as the text which is potentially intended as license text but I would
like to ask you for confirmation that this is true.

Kind regards

       Andreas.

Hi Andreas,

unfortunately I didn't find any license/copyright information in the source tarball.

According to the website the license is CC-BY. As the software has been developed 
long after CC-4.0 has been released, I am wondering why you put CC-BY-3.0 in your 
debian/copyright.

So I am afraid there is need for clarification.

  Thorsten
