Source: jqueryui
Version: 1.10.1+dfsg
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.3

The package's debian/copyright mentions all of the contents as being
licensed udner "GPL-2 or MIT", but they are exclusively licensed under
the MIT:

    $ grep -ri 'gnu' . --exclude-dir=debian
    Binary file ./development-bundle/demos/position/images/rocket.jpg matches
    ./development-bundle/demos/autocomplete/search.php:"Mute Swan"=>"Cygnus olor",
    ./development-bundle/demos/autocomplete/search.php:"Bewick`s Swan"=>"Cygnus bewickii",
    ./development-bundle/demos/autocomplete/search.php:"Whooper Swan"=>"Cygnus cygnus",
    ./development-bundle/demos/autocomplete/search.php:"Whistling Swan"=>"Cygnus columbianus",
    $ grep -ri gpl . --exclude-dir=debian
    ./development-bundle/AUTHORS.txt:Garrison Locke <gplocke at gmail.com>
    $ grep -ri 'public license' . --exclude-dir=debian
    $

Please fix this information. Thanks!
