 libmath-random-mt-perl (1.07-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
 
   TODO:
-  - debian/copyright: incomplete. `grep -ir copyright *' lists some other
-    people (3 for ppport.h, 2 for _mt.c). and _mt.c looks dubious license-wise
-    in general ...
-  - debian/control: I'd remove the last line of the long description. any
-    maybe the order could be changed a bit (URL at the end ...) but that's
-    just a matter of taste. -- or not, the URL returns 404 :)
+  * Added copyright information for _mt.c and mt.h. However I'm not sure about
+    the legality of bundling these in the upstream version because it would
+    appear that Mersenne Twister is under the BSD License
+    (See: http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/MT2002/CODES/mt19937ar.c)
+    -> No public RCS means I can't see old versions.
 
   * Initial Release. (Closes: #525332)
