Bug#348494: gnome2-user-guide: [NONFREE-DOC:GFDL] Licenced under the GFDL (debian/copyright claims GPL???)

[Paul Wise]

Package: gnome2-user-guide
Version: 2.8.1-2
Severity: serious
Justification: DFSG

The current release of the GFDL is non-free, and the content of this
package is almost entirely licenced under the GFDL (except
automake/autoconf stuff). I count 5 copies of the GFDL: COPYING,
COPYING-DOCS and 3 legal.xml files.

In addition, the debian/copyright file has incorrect copyright notices,
and an incorrect licence notice. The work is GFDL licenced, not GPL
licenced. The copyright owner is Sun Microsystems, Inc. not Red Hat
Software and David A. Wheeler.

I also wonder if the people listed in the changelog have asserted
copyright on any part(s) of the work.
