OK, so what does everyone think of the following statement in the copyright file? [This program] is in the public domain. The original upstream source is released under the Cypherpunks anti-License (CPL), which places the program in the public domain, and includes additional clarifying text. Neither Debian, nor Software in the Public Interest, nor any of their agents specifically make the same pledges as are contained in the license. The complete text of the license follows below: [etc.] Is that too wordy? or unnecessary?
