[Pkg-doc-linux-devel] Bug#322877: doc-linux: copyright misleading about Clone-HOWTO's license (not GPL)

Package: doc-linux
Severity: normal

[copyrights/] [free/] [GPL-2] shouldn't list the Clone-HOWTO. The HOWTO
mentions the GPL, but only a script in it is licensed under the GPL. The
document itself is under the GFDL only:

Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
under
the terms of the [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html] GNU Free
Documentation License (GFDL), Version 1.1 or any later version published
by
the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, with no
Front-Cover
Texts, and with no Back-Cover Texts. The clone script is licensed in the
terms of the [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html] GNU General Public
License (GPL).


If a maintainer reads this bug, it would be nice to also fix
the URL to the package's SVN repository in the copyright file from
http://svn.debian.org/viewcvs/pkg-doc-linux/ (404) to
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-doc-linux/
