Bug#456265: gcj-4.2: non-free man pages included
Package: gcj-4.2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1
The man pages gc-analyze-4.2.1, gcj-4.2.1, jcf-dump-4.2.1 and jv-convert-4.2.1
are all licensed under the GNU Fre Documentation License with front- and
back-cover texts. According to Debian vote 1 of 2006 this is a violation of the
DFSG modifiability requirements.
The man pages are fairly short (with the possible exception of gcj) which should
facilitate writing fresh ones complying with the DFSG. As I primarily use C++/C
I'm probably not the best person for the job. I would however be willing to have
a go at it, if so requested.
Other non-free man pages in packages related to the GNU Compiler Collection:
* cpp-4.2 (bug #456262)
* gcc-4.2 (bug #442445)
* gcj (bug #456264)
* gij-4.2 (bug report not yet submitted)
Note: In response to bug #442445 Matthias Klose said that the problem won't
be fixed (for gcc) until the 4.2.3 and 4.3.0 releases.
