Package: acheck-rules
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.3

The upstream source code doesn't provide a license file or any copyright
notice. It conflicts with Debian Policy:

"Note that under international copyright law (this applies in the United
 States, too), no distribution or modification of a work is allowed without
 an explicit notice saying so. Therefore a program without a copyright notice
 is copyrighted and you may not do anything to it without risking being sued!
 Likewise if a program has a copyright notice but no statement saying what is
 permitted then nothing is permitted."

Thanks,

Eriberto

This package is native. So, the original debian/copyright can be
considered as the official license. I am closing this bug.

Sorry for my mistake.

PS: I will migrate the d/copyright to 1.0 format now.

Regards,

Eriberto
