 liblocale-currency-format-perl (1.28-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
 
   TODO:
-  - debian/copyright: I think we have a problem here; Format.pm has no
-    copyright statement (only an AUTHOR and a license incorrectly labelled as
-    COPYRIGHT). clarifying with upstream would be best (and have a new
-    release, or a mail we can quote, or a public mail we can point to).
-    otherwise an X-Comment saying something like "no copyright statement.
-    under the berne convention we assume author=copyright holder" has also
-    worked before.
   - debian/copyright: lintian (at pedantic level) complains about
     "copyright-refers-to-symlink-license" --> s/GPL-1+ or Artistic/Artistic or
     GPL-1+/

+X-Comment: There is no explicit copyright statement, but under the Berne
+ Convention, the author is assumed to be the copyright holder unless
+ someone else is indicated. Lars Wirzenius had discussed the choice of
+ license with the author and received confirmation in private e-mail that
+ any version of the GPL is fine, and has asked for confirmation that the
+ author is in fact the copyright holder.
