Package: libapache-poi-java
Version: 3.6+dfsg-2
Severity: minor
The current Debian copyright file includes the following text:
Except "src/resources/scratchpad/org/apache/poi/hdgf/chunks_parse_cmds.tbl"
which is licenced under GPLv3:
Per upstream svn:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/poi/trunk/src/resources/scratchpad/org/apache/poi/hdgf/chunks_parse_cmds.tbl?view=markup
This issue was apparently addressed with a dual-licensed version of this file.
I recommend either dropping the exception or making note that the file is dual-
licensed, not only under the GPLv3 license.
