I checked more closely the licenses related to OpenSSl and Trolltech which I found within related Debian packages I install to build my own package (please find both licenses attached). My personal feeling is that they looks fine. Maybe I should simply complete my first copyright file by adding licenses from OpenSSL and Trolltech (I repeat: both present in their respective Debian packages) ? I suppose I can rely on the fact that because such licenses are already present in other debian packages I can build my own with same licenses. Correct ? Many thanks for confirmation / correction.
