Bug#368562: mesa: debian/copyright does not contain all licenses

Package: mesa
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.3

The copyright file mentions that certain parts of the package are under the
"FreeB" license.  Checking, indeed certain files are.

It does not mention that one file is under the "GLX Public License".

Neither license is in the copyright file.

This bug is independent of the bug regarding the freeness of those licenses.

It is worth noting that the copyright file is in bad shape overall.

It has a list of sections of the package, together with the copyright holder and 
license for each section (good); but this doesn't match the current layout of the 
current source or binary packages at all!  Many components appear to be simply 
gone, while the ones which are there are in different locations.
