You mention that the upstream author *transformed* the image. Mechanical transformations (such as compilation of source code) do not normally have copyright associated with them, so the copyright of cat.pzl would probably be the same as for cat.jpg. > Add: > - Previous Debian release include copyright image owner. > - Image license requires link to web site source as a condition. This last part sounds potentially non-free. If this is software that you're planning to include in Debian main, please submit the license to debian-legal@lists.debian.org for public review of its terms. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
