Bug#468947: copyright contains wrong license

Package: libcommons-cli-java
Version: 1.1-1
Severity: serious

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

The copyright file contans the wrong license. Accordingly to
libcommons-cli-java-1.1/LICENSE.txt the license is the Apache license
2.0, not 1.1. There are differences in the compatibilities to e.g. the
GPL license between these license versions.

Severity set to serious, because I think it violates the Debian Policy.

Regards, Daniel
