A classic one: Changed "GNU Public License" to "GNU General Public License".

Well, I don't think that they wanted to refer to a non existing
license. :-) So I don't think it's a legal issue to fix that in
debian/copyright.

But good point to check the upstream code if that's present elsewhere,
too. And indeed:

→ git grep 'GNU Public'
ABOUT-NLS:package.  Of course the GNU Public License applies to your sources from
COPYHEADER:distribute their work under the terms and conditions of the GNU Public
PACKAGE/debian/copyright:distribute their work under the terms and conditions of the GNU Public
po/makefile.inn:# be used in projects which are not available under the GNU Public License
src/UCdomap.c: * The GNU Public Licence therefore applies, see

Will contact upstream. Thanks for the idea!

And welcome to the list! :-)

		Regards, Axel
