Hi Debian-Legal, I'm currently updating some translations (.po files) for a Debian package, licensed under the LGPL. While doing this, I noticed that some files use the following line in the header as a copyright statement: "This file is distributed under the same license as the $PACKAGE package." I'm wondering if this is sufficient. The FSF says on their webpage that you need to add a copying permission statement (the three paragraphs starting with "This program is free software; [...]") to each file of the package. Although I searched the list archives and the FSF's FAQ about the GPL, I could not find an answer to this question. Should I change those copyright statements to the recommended wording of the FSF, or is the single sentence ("... same license as ...") enough? (Please keep me CC'ed.)
