Bug#1005755: debian/copyright missing GPL-3+ copyright statements

[David Mohammed]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:41.2-2
Severity: serious

Hi,

  gnome-control-center has several files that are stated as GPL-3+ in
their source headers

for example -

panels/applications/search.h
panels/applications/cc-applications-panel.h
panels/network/cc-qr-code.h

In the package, debian/copyright GPL-3+ isn't explicitly stated for these files.

The reason for raising this is that budgie-desktop has forked
gnome-control-center and we have used much of the packaging from
G-C-C.

ftp-master (Thorsten Alteholz) has rejected this package with the reason

"please mention the files licensed under GPL-3+ in your debian/copyright."

I've also stated "serious" since according to this bug-report this is
a Debian policy violation

thanks
