Final Comment
Hello,
thanks for the new upload of lightdm.
There are some problems in the new version
-
You can't combine files under GPL-2 (only) with code under GPL-3+.
If you are the only author of the files in debian/ you can relicensed it -
There are some missing authors in d/copyright, esp for the translations
-
Please fix the problem in the first line to be compliant with DEP-5
Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ -
In d/copyright please list LGPL-3+ too
Thanks
