My issue is that i don't understand how public domain is DFSG, and the
consequence is that i cannot handle it properly in debian packages.
For example, reading [0]:
When the License field in a paragraph has the short name public-domain,
the remaining lines of the field must explain exactly what exemption the
corresponding files for that paragraph have from default copyright
restrictions.
This debian/copyright paragraph doesn't follow that requirement :
Files: *
License: public-domain
How can i tell it's a mistake if i can't explain what's wrong ?
