A machine-interpretable format for debian/copyright is already available. Why clutter the dpkg and apt-cache with licence lines? We already have main vs contrib vs non-free. Why subdivide main? Some packages can have multiple (compatible) licences - the details of what is licenced under which can only be properly determined by reading debian/copyright. It's installed for every package so I don't see the point. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
