Looks like linuxwacom upstream itself doesn't have a COPYING
file as such, but the source files all have the standard GNU
"This program is ..." boilerplate which we can quote.

This package is fubar serious broken anyhow until upstream fixes
the xserver prang, but I'll tidy this up the for the next upload.
