[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#334870: More info needed

[Christian Perrier]

I'm afraid I'm missing the point in your bug report.

The copyright licence for shadow mentions:

On Debian GNU/Linux systems, the complete text of the GNU General Public
License can be found in '/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL'


...which is common practice for all GPL licensed Debian packages so
that copyright files do not reproduce the GPL everywhere and, worse,
do not keep outdated versions of the GPL license text.

In the above file, everything you request is mentioned.

So, I actually really wonder what you want us to do. If this is
"please include the full text of the GPL in
/usr/share/odc/login/copyright", then the answer is *no*.
