Hi maintainer(s)!

I'm sorry, but I have to reject your package.  Its debian/copyright is far
from complete, and some parts are in the current state not distributable by
us.

Some of the problems I've found:

bibledit-gtk-4.2/doc/site/*.html (and html files in subfolders):
contain obfuscated java script stuff, with "/* Copyright 2008 Google. */"

bibledit-gtk-4.2/doc/site/activity.xml doesn't look like prefered form of
modification

bibledit-gtk-4.2/gobible/{GoBibleCore2.jar,GoBibleCreator.jar}
sourceless binary stuff with different copyright holder

bibledit-gtk-4.2/outpost/bwoutpost.exe (and some other files)
Missing source, unknown license?

bibledit-gtk-4.2/usfm/{$FIftiMain,$OBJINST}
Don't know what these files are


bibledit-gtk-4.2/usfm
====
On 4 August 2009 Jeff Klassen of the Canadian Bible Society gave permission
to distribute this file:
"Please feel free to distribute the current version of the CHM help file.
We're glad that the documentation can be of help."

Since it does not come with a license, it is supposed that the file is in
the public domain. 
=====

Uhm... No.  The author statement doesn't grant all rights required by the
DFSG, and "supposing" it's public domain is not enough. Beside:  That's not
mentioned in your debian/copyright either.


bibledit-gtk-4.2/usfm/helpman_topicinit.js:
"It is designed for use in combination with the output of Help & Manual and
must not be used outside this context."
What is this file?  May I edit it?  May it be distributed?  Who's the
copyright holder?


bibledit-gtk-4.2/xetex/ptx2pdf.tar.gz not in debian/copyright at all.


Best regards,
  Alexander
