I do not want to believe that debian-legal judges such nonsense,
i.e. to distribute a licence file with a non DFSG license. It's
clearly marked which license terms hold for the libgcc_s.so.1.

I think what he meant was that the documentation licensed under the GFDL
is considered non-free, which is true. This would be a similar bug to #193787
against gcc-3.3 and sarge-ignore like it.

What documentation? There is none in the libgcc1 package.

Yeah, the same copyright file is used for the whole source package.
So this bug should probably be reassigned to gcc-3.4-doc or
the source package...

I think that Brian is getting at the fact that a work under the GFDL
is non-free, not the license itself.

We've never attempted to apply the DFSG to a license text that is
covering works that are actually distributed by Debian, if for no
other reason than the GNU GPL itself would fail in this regard.

If libgcc1 doesn't actually contain anything that is licensed under
the GFDL, this part of the copyright file would ideally be removed.

If it does, then for the purposes of releasing sarge, this bug would
be capable of getting a 'sarge-ignore'... but you'll have to talk to
the RMs for that.

I apologize; I was imprecise. The licenses of license files are
irrelevant, but the licenses of documentation are not, and this bug
should rightly have been filed against gcc-4.0-doc, assuming that the
copyright file which is included in the libgcc1 package applies to
that package as well. Personally, I think only those licenses that
belong to a certain package should be in that package's copyright
file, but that's for someone else to argue. Anyone?

For the record, I did the following:

grep 'Free Documentation License' `find /usr/share/doc/ -name copyright`

and libgcc1 showed up.

# Oops, they fixed the case-insensitivity feature!
stop processing, control!

I am tagging all of my bugs "sid", so they will no longer be relevant
with respect to the release. The release team may untag these bugs if
they desire, as long as the presence or absence of this tag does not
affect its severity (as specified under Debian Policy). It is my policy
from this point on to tag all of my bugs with either the "sid" or
"experimental" tag, as the case may be, to prevent them from affecting
the release. As a consequence, since such bugs are no longer relevant
to the release, they are no longer governed by the release team's
policy, but only by Debian Policy. Bugs that would be serious based on
Debian Policy but merely important based etch RC policy (like those
violating section 2.5) can now be treated as serious, as they will not
affect britney.

The proper solution to this bug is to have an "rc" or
("release-critical" or similar) tag which defines which bugs are RC, or
at least a "not-rc" bug. Alternatively, Debian Policy could again
become the authoritative reference for what is release-critical.

In the event you have a problem with this, feel free to bring it up on
debian-project. I am subscribed, so you need not CC me. *DO NOT* untag
these bugs except as specified above without first bringing the issue up
on -project.
