I think they are correctly attributed: GavoCSVTableParser.java [1] is
copyrighted  2003-2004 German Astrophysical Virtual Observatory (GAVO),
which is already mentioned in debian/copyright [2] (main section).

And Remove-edu.jhu.htm-reference.patch [3] is copyrighted by me, which
is also mentioned there. Remove-edu.jhu.htm-reference.patch just removes
the link to a package that has a non-free license. For reference, this
license is given in the patch, but it is *not* the license of the patch.
The patch is licensed along with the main license of the package (LGPL-2.1).

Would you disagree here? Otherwise I would like to just close the bug.

Best regards

Ole
