The section is reported in Alexander Schmehl e-mail... The fact is that the holder of copyright is not a real person... but one friend sent me a link to a Debian discussion about a package: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/1999/09/msg00057.html that take, as example, proftpd package... I read the debian/copyright of proftpd package and the copyright field is: == * ProFTPD - FTP server daemon * Copyright (c) 1997, 1998 Public Flood Software * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by * the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or * (at your option) any later version. ... == Having a 'old' package that doe not have a real person as copyright holder gives me a chance to send k9copy and vamps package in Debian :D [cut] > > Thanks for packaging the programs anyway, Rogério. I'll send two RFS... having these packages in Debian is better than in a unofficial repository! Thank you!
