jonas.smedegaard reassigned T49: cron - contains a file licensed too vaguely for FSF from jonas.smedegaard to mak.
Please drop derived cron package: There is no need for deriving from Debian (issue is bogus).
jonas.smedegaard changed the status of T49: cron - contains a file licensed too vaguely for FSF from Resolved to Invalid.
This issue is bogus: It is correct for metadata to describe license as Artistic, but code itself is licensed "same as Perl" which means dual-licensing as _either_ Artistic or GPL-1+.

Not sure if relevant for this issue (seems you isolated the issue from the GUI tool) but might be: Do you use the Debian packaged DisplayCAL from the package dispcalgui?
