Go ahead Jens, no problem at all :)

The idea was mainly: "This patch is released under the same license as
the game itself and the packaging", but whatever license or text you
prefer will be  OK for me :)

You can change it yourself if you want, but if you prefer to do it
formally nice, just tell me the text you prefer and I'll do the commit
myself :)

The idea is that not only the program itself and the packaging have a
license, but also the patches do have  a copyright and license. Maybe
the best text would be "This patch is licensed undet the same license
as the program, see debian/copyright" or something like that.

Greetings,
Miry
