Package: vim-runtime
Version: 1:7.0-035+1
Severity: serious
Justification: DFSG

Hi,

Currently, part of vim's documents (user manaul and reference manual)
are using OPL license, which is considered as DFSG-incompatible[1]. You
can verify this info by typing ":help manual-copyright" in vim editor.

An letter[2] was sent to debian-legal for requesting comments.

Thanks.
