Dear all,
Given that the patch that is being rushed in the Policy (#566220) does not
clarify what is meant by “verbatim”, I urge the Policy maintainers or the
archive administrators to confirm if and when aggregation of the copyright
notices is permitted.
Alternatively, we could start a GR to at last find an exit to this endless
debate (In that case, I would propose that the only requirement is to respect
the license and the copyright laws, and that any extra is welcome but
optional).
Have a nice day,
