Package: ptlib
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 12.5

Dear VoIP Team,

In the hope of speeding up and strenghtening the processing of the NEW queue I
had a look at your package. The rationale is explained in the proposal in the
following wiki page:

http://wiki.debian.org/CopyrightReview

I noted that the `licencecheck` tool from the `devscipts` pacakges finds some
source files that are licenced under a BSD-style licence and that are not
documented in debian/copyright.

anx159《ptlib-2.4.2》$ licensecheck -r . | grep  BSD
../src/ptlib/common/tinyjpeg.h: BSD (3 clause) 
../src/ptlib/common/tinyjpeg.cxx: BSD (3 clause) 
../src/ptlib/common/tinyjpeg-internal.h: BSD (3 clause) 
../src/ptlib/unix/udll.cxx: MPL (v1.0) MIT/X11 (BSD like) 
../src/ptclib/udp.h: MIT/X11 (BSD like) 
../src/ptclib/speex_echo/misc.h: BSD (3 clause) 
../src/ptclib/speex_echo/mdf.c: BSD (3 clause) 
../src/ptclib/speex_echo/misc.c: BSD (3 clause) 
../src/ptclib/speex_echo/arch.h: BSD (3 clause) 
../src/ptclib/speex_echo/speex_echo.h: BSD (3 clause) 
../src/ptclib/speex_echo/speex_preprocess.h: BSD (3 clause) 
../src/ptclib/speex_echo/preprocess.c: BSD (3 clause) 

Since the administrators of our FTP archive are also using licensecheck, it is
probably safer to re-upload a package with an updated copyright file to prevent
rejection of your upload. This will not make ptilb go backwards in the queue.

Have a nice day,
