xiota [1] filed an orphan request for python-kdtree [2]: Maintainer is willfully violating copyright. The copyright license explicitly states (emphasis added):

Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, **provided that the above copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies.**

Because I'm not happy with the general idea of these license files in cases such as here. I think that it's useless legalese busywork, and I don't want to waste my time on it, however small amounts of time

The only place in which this notice appears in this package is within the license file, which is not included or installed by this package. The maintainer has been made aware of this issue via comments and has replied: that might be. I have much more interesting tasks to dedicate my time to. Since the current maintainer is not interested in maintaining the package, it should be orphaned so someone else may do so.
