Hi all, Some people prefer that copyright and licence info be verbatim, but I think modifying the style is ok, as long as the information content stays the same. For example, in the new copyright file for mapserver (see attachment), I could remove all the extraneous commas, (c) symbols, merge copyright entries based on the years and remove all extraneous crud from the strptime.c, mapscript/php3/Makefile.in and so on copyrights & licences. Should I do this for mapserver? I've lumped together all the copyrights that have the same licences. Problems: md5.c/md5.h: uses the RSA Data Security implementation, which has an obnoxious advertising clause. Might be good to get upstream to replace it with the drop-in public domain implementation by Colin Plumb. tile4ms.c: no copyright info, can we assume that it is "Copyright (c) 1996-2005 Regents of the University of Minnesota", even tho it says it is derived from shapelib by frank? Might be good to get upstream to fix this. mapscript/tcl/win/ms-mingw.tar: contains a bunch of build stuff that looks like it was copied from various upstream projects. Dunno if this should be listed in debian/copyright. Lots of files have no copyright, particularly parts of the mapscript bindings. I'm assuming these are all "Copyright (c) 1996-2005 Regents of the University of Minnesota" since that is in the main README. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
