Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu 13.04
Release: 13.04

libcloog-ppl1:
Installed: 0.16.1-1
Candidate: 0.16.1-1

I found some packages seems to have the license mismatch. For example, the copyright of package libcloog-ppl1 tells us to see /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL whereas its the symlink to GPL-3. But the original license version is LGPL-2.1. It seems that nobody updated the copyright file. This gives wrong information and creates confusion about the package license. This is the same scenario for many packages.

Attached the packages list that has mentioned actual license in copyright file say GPLv2 or LGPL-2, but linked to GPL-3
