The last I knew, there is an outstanding contradiction between attitudes like the above (“we don't need copyright statements collected in ‘debian/copyright’ unless required by the specific license”), and actual practice from ftpmasters (where, as I understand it, packages *without* that information in ‘debian/copyright’ run the risk of rejection on that basis). Can we get a definite statement about exactly who requires putting these copyright statements in ‘debian/copyright’, and why? -- \ “The reward of energy, enterprise and thrift is taxes.” | `\ —William Feather | _o__) | Ben Finney
