Package: cups
Version: 1.2.7-4-all

As you know, now CUPS is owned by Apple, Inc. since Feb. 2007.
 http://www.cups.org/articles.php?L476+TFAQ+Q
and you can see the following messages about the trademark.
---
CUPS and the CUPS logo are trademarks of Apple Inc. All other
trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
---
(Note: there is no announcement about the term "Common Unix Printing System")

However, we still have a wrong trademark in the descriptions of CUPS
related packages(*).
---
The terms "Common UNIX Printing System" and "CUPS" are trademarks of
Easy Software Products (www.easysw.com), and refer to the original
source packages from which these packages are made.
---

This should be changed as follows:
---
The term "CUPS" is trademark of Apple, Inc., and refer www.cups.org to
the original source pachages from which there packages are made.
---
Etch (oldstable) uses CUPS version 1.2.x had been developed in ESP's era,
but I think trademark should be changes all of the version because it owned
by Apple, Inc.


(*) CUPS related package means:
cupsys
cupssys-dbg
libcupsys2
libcupsys2-gnutls10
cupsys-common
cupsys-client
libcupssysimage2
libcupsys2-dev
libcupsysimage2-dev
