Title:
  License version mismatch

Status in “cloog-ppl” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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.
