Hi,

Seems debian/copyright isn't correct and needs some refinement.

I don't think that openwrt-x86-ext2.image and openwrt-x86-vmlinuz should
be in the original sources at all. These are sourceless files, and
cannot fit Debian at all.

Thomas

Source: nova
Version: 2011.2-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 12.5


In reviewing this source package, I find several problems with the copyright
file:

tools/ajaxterm/sarissa* are LGPL, but this is not mentioned in
debian/copyright.  The rest of ajaxterm is public domain

In the smoketests directory, i find: openwrt-x86-ext2.image
openwrt-x86-vmlinuz
one seems to be a kernel, the other an ext2 image with a kernel and
grub.  The
licenses for these are not mentioned in debian/copyright, and I do not find
source for these

The license and copyright notice from nova/virt/xenapi/fake.py does not
appear

contrib/boto_v6 is under a MIT like license that is not mentioned in
debian/copyright, nor are its copyright holders

bin/nova-manage carries a BSD license which is not mentioned in
debian/copyright, nor are its copyright holders

bye,
stew
