Re: copyright question



   I have a bit of source code which I want to debianize.
   The copyright says:

   This is public domain software.

   Is this OK for debian, or should I ask the author to
   change it?

That's okay.  `Public domain' means that anyone can do anything with
it.  (However, beware of qualifications later in the copyright, as a
lot of people don't seem to understand this.)
