jabber-yahoo copyright file



With the recent dicussion about improper package copyright files[1], I
would like to make sure the copyright files for the packages I maintain
are correct.  I've decided to start with jabber-yahoo and have found
that my initial copyright file is indeed lacking, but I'm not entirely
sure how to correct it.  The files in the package are under differing
licenses.  How, should these be listed in the copyright file?
