DEP5 public-domain Question
quick one -- where to place "public domain" -- into Copyright or
License?
http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/
kinda suggests to use short license name "public-domain" within License:
field. But also it suggests that Copyright is the correct place for
such information (which I agree with, since being "public domain" is
about ownership, not description of the use terms)
Also, the DEP5 checker has no clue about public-domain as a short
license either:
$> config-edit -application dpkg-copyright -ui none
Configuration item 'Files:"scikits/statsmodels/datasets/anes96/anes96.csv
scikits/statsmodels/datasets/grunfeld/grunfeld.csv
scikits/statsmodels/datasets/longley/longley.csv
scikits/statsmodels/datasets/macrodata/macrodata.csv
scikits/statsmodels/datasets/nile/nile.csv
scikits/statsmodels/datasets/randhie/randhie.csv
scikits/statsmodels/datasets/stackloss/stackloss.csv
scikits/statsmodels/datasets/strikes/strikes.csv
scikits/statsmodels/datasets/sunspots/sunspots.csv" License short_name' has a wrong value:
license public-domain is not declared in main License section. Expected BSD-3
and if I omit license for works in public-domain (mentioned in Copyright:)
$> config-edit -application dpkg-copyright -ui none
Configuration item 'Files:"scikits/statsmodels/datasets/anes96/anes96.csv
scikits/statsmodels/datasets/grunfeld/grunfeld.csv

scikits/statsmodels/datasets/stackloss/stackloss.csv
scikits/statsmodels/datasets/strikes/strikes.csv
scikits/statsmodels/datasets/sunspots/sunspots.csv" License short_name' has a wrong value:
Undefined mandatory value.
