Some observations:

- the reference manual license is stated as for the generated material
  only and is by the maintainer himself. I would suggest to just declare
  GPL instead like the source code (I don't know if re-licensing the
  generated material under GFDL is even legal, but that's not the point
  here anyway)

- The alcovebook-intro contains one notice that it is licensed under
  GFDL and one that it is licensed under OPL, but from what I see the
  OPL one is the right one.

Subject: alcovebook-sgml-doc is not DFSG free
Package: alcovebook-sgml-doc
Severity: serious
Justification: DFSG
Tags: sarge-ignore

debian-legal has recently reconsidered the Open Publication License
and has determined that it is a license that is not free. See:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/03/msg00226.html

It appears that your package is using data under that license. So you
could either:
1) persuade the upstream author to change the license
2) move the package to non-free
3) could ask the package to be removed

Anyway, documentation licence issues are not being considered RC for
sarge, that's why the bug is tagget as Sarge ignore. That's let you some
time to persuade the upstream author :)

Doc licensing issue

[Pierre Habouzit (madcoder)]

  Hi yann, any progress on this ? if you can make upstream confirm that
the material is licensed under the GFDL with no invariant sections and
such, this year GR makes it DFSG-free.

  though I agree that only the PDF intro document speaks about GFDL,
current licensing state of that package is unclear and need to be
clarified.

The reference manual itself does not have any specific copyright. It
is mostly material generated from the DTD itself, with only a couple
of things from alcovebook.dsc. Thus I close the bug about the
reference manual. I'm not sure why it was thought to be under GFDL.

The "intro" documents, however, have a different status: they are
derived from OPL documents, and thus fall under the OPL, but they
contain a GFDL notice.

Since those documents are not very useful anyway, I'll just drop them,
that should fix the remaining issue.

This was over a month ago -- any progress?
