+The COPYING file sgml-common ships with is just a symlink to
+/usr/share/automake/COPYING, which means we can't verify it
+using our normal means. We workaround this by using this patch
+to create our own license file. 
+
+Upstream was notified about this on 2011-01-24. When upgrading
+this recipe, this should be fixed and you should remove this
+patch.
