Dear Youhei,

In the hope of speeding up and strenghtening the processing of NEW I had a look
at your package (from the Git repository). The rationale is explained in the
proposal in the following wiki page: http://wiki.debian.org/CopyrightReview

I found that while you indicate LGPL-2.0+ as a license, the upstream sources
distribute the LGPL-2.1, and indicate this file in the README for reference.
Perhaps you can clarify with the authors what is their intention: LGPL-2.0+ ?
LGPL-2.1 ? LGPL-2.1+ ?

Also, the file lib/classifier.rb seems to be licensed under both the MIT and
LGPL terms.

Lastly, more of a detail, it lools like lib/classifier/extensions/vector.rb is
copyrighted by Ernest Ellingson.

I also looked at the other ruby package you uploaded alonside with
ruby-classifyer, and did not find anything to report about them.

Have a nice day,
