Subject: grass: copyright issues fixed in new version

Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2003 19:42:12 +1300

Package: grass
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #208449

Both files (1) and (2) have been removed from the newly released GRASS 5.0.3.

So this bug will be fixed when the new version makes it into Debian.

(NB: the package doesn't have to be perfect, just better than the old one!)


regards,
Hamish
