Hello!
I've just noticed that the [debian/copyright] file for this package
reports "BSD-4-clause" as license short name.
But the license text is actually the text of the [BSD-3-clause].
And this seems to be the license the package is really released under.
[debian/copyright]: <https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/s/soqt/copyright-1.6.0ds1-1>
[BSD-3-clause]: <https://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause>
Please fix the debian/copyright file by applying the following
change:
diff -ruN a/debian/copyright b/debian/copyright
--- a/debian/copyright 2020-04-28 03:37:56.000000000 +0200
+++ b/debian/copyright 2020-06-28 11:43:32.111856926 +0200
