A reviewer has shared a note regarding libreoffice-dictionaries 1:26.2.2-1:

Authors are looking great now (I fixed my author-check for the couple of actual false positives and now we only see FSF and M. Y. Name which are much easier false positives to pass.





Lintian is likewise looking pretty good, though it would be nice to add overrides for the two issues which seem pretty reasonable issues for this kind of package.





The only real remaining problem is the mess of licenses.  The GPL and GPL-2 seemingly conflicting with the Apache, and the questions about CC-BY-SA versions and whether GFDL-1.1+ means GFDL-1.1-no-invariants-or-later or GFDL-1.1-invariants-or-later.  Presumably the first, but I think it should be explicitly called out in debian/copyright.





I know that you've probably gone through the licensing in particular in great detail, so I wonder if all of the licenserecon stuff is unfixable, and also if perhaps the Apache 2 with GPL is OK in this package for some reason?
