yelp-xsl packaging incorrectly asserts AGPLv3 license

[Steve Magoun]

The yelp-xsl packaging incorrectly asserts that the jQuery.syntax library is licensed under the AGPLv3. The version of the jQuery.syntax library in yelp-xsl >= 3.1.1 is licensed under the MIT license.

The following files need to be corrected:
* COPYING: Incorrectly asserts AGPLv3, and mentions COPYING.AGPL which is not present
* debian/copyright: Incorrectly asserts AGPLv3

Upstream, the jQuery syntax library was updated to an MIT-licensed version by this commit:

    Update jquery.syntax to 3.0.0 (which is MIT licenced).

Mark this as oem-priority because accurate license information is important to OEMs

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Steve, would you be willing to report this to Debian and GNOME?

GNOME needs to update their COPYING file.

Since Ubuntu's yelp-xsl packaging is currently in sync with Debian's, this change ought to be made in Debian's packaging.

[Steve Magoun (smagoun)]

Reported both upstream

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Thank you Steve!

[Steve Magoun (smagoun)]

Revert oem-priority/quantal status, the 2 fixes we need are not yet in quantal (yelp-xsl 3.4.2-1)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Hey Iain, could you try to get that fixed for Debian,Ubuntu for quantal release?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package yelp-xsl - 3.5.90-0ubuntu2
