Does this mean we need all the notes from the source files with duplicates removed? Do you have any reference for this? Maybe debian-policy (this is where I looked) could be changed to include this information? I find for example the appended notices. Should I replace my text blurb by the concatenation of all these notices? Does different white space count as being different? Now confused, Jochen PS.: I looked at the vroot.h license (last one in my list) which I did not spot before. I think is is ok for our purposes.
