Dear Olivier,
I did not have time to try pbuilder. Instead, I inspected the source files of
Gbrowse, and documented their copyright notices and licenses in
debian/copyright. That was tedious and time-consuming, but it is required
before uploading to the Debian archive.
Default license is GPL version 1 or superior, or Artistic version 2. This
license is not in /usr/share/doc/common-licenses, so it needs to be in
debian/copyright. A large number of files are still GPL-1+ or Artistic (not
version 2), and I grouped them in the same paragraph after collating their
copyright notices. I also found some files whose license is MIT or LGPL.
Importantly, I found files that are obviously not the work of the main authors,
and that do not have a license. Of them, one is probably free (readseq.c), but
for the other, htdocs/css/dropdown/default_theme.css and
htdocs/css/dropdown/dropdown.css, there is not evidence that they are
redistributable. We need the confirmation directly by the authors or through
the Gbrowse developers.
Can you or somebody else doublecheck that I have not forgotten something ?
Have a nice day,
