Package: gimp1.2 Version: 1.2.3-2 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.1.6 Several gimp plugins (webbrowser.c, edge.c, nlfilt.c), tools (gimp-remote.c), and build utils (install-sh) require notice in an supporting documentation, but Gimp's supporting documentation (e.g., it's online help) do not follow the requirement. In addition, the copyright file in /usr/share/doc/gimp1.2 fails to mention these. Among the people and organization that need credit are M.I.T (install-sh), Netscape Communications Corp. and Jamie Zawinski (gimp-remote.c, webbrowser.c), Andreas Stolcke and Solbourne Computer, Inc. (webbrowser.c), Jef Poskanzer (edge.c), David Koblas (gif.c), and Graeme W. Gill (nlfilt.c). Then there is Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis in gimp-1.2.1.in; Owen Taylor and Manish Singh in gimptool-1.2.1.in; Paradigm Associates, Inc. (interp_slib.c); Patrick J. Naughton (tiff.c); and CMU (mail.c) All in all, there is quite a bit of missing legalese. And Gimp doesn't really appear to be under the GPL. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux tux-2 2.4.18 #1 SMP Tue May 7 12:47:45 EDT 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE= Versions of packages gimp1.2 depends on: ii aalib1 1.4p5-13 ascii art library ii libc6 2.2.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgimp1.2 1.2.3-2 Libraries necessary to run the GIM ii libglib1.2 1.2.10-4 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk1.2 1.2.10-11 The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets fo ii libgtkxmhtml1 1.4.1.4-3 The Gnome gtkxmhtml (HTML) widget ii libjpeg62 6b-5 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libmpeg1 1.3.1-2.1 The MPEG library calls for movie s ii libpng2 1.0.12-3 PNG library - runtime ii libtiff3g 3.5.5-6 Tag Image File Format library ii slang1 1.4.4-7.2 The S-Lang programming library - r ii wget 1.8.1-6 retrieves files from the web ii xlibs 4.1.0-16 X Window System client libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.1.4-1 compression library - runtime
