Bug#664196: libyaml-libyaml-perl: embeds libyaml without a copyright notice

[Niko Tyni]

Package: libyaml-libyaml-perl
Version: 0.38-2
Severity: serious

I just noticed that this package embeds libyaml sources with no mention
in either the upstream source or debian/copyright.

While the upstream source doesn't contain any copyright statements,
the LICENSE file in libyaml-perl states it's Copyright (c) 2006 Kirill
Simonov and licensed under a MIT/Expat license, which both we and
libyaml-libyaml-perl upstream are breaching by failing to include the
copyright notice. So setting the severity to 'serious'.

After adding the license notices, we should document the situation as
per <http://wiki.debian.org/EmbeddedCodeCopies>, and look at fixing
it by linking against the shared library in the libyaml-0-2 package,
(Obviously this part isn't release critical.)

Comparing with the upstream/0.1.2 tag of git://andersk.mit.edu/libyaml.git:
