The only question blocking me to submit this new version is a issue about copyright. As I've said in my last email to Debian Med, we are using some preset files from OsiriX. OsiriX is a LGPL-3 [1], and its copyright is "2003-2010 (c) Antoine Rosset". As far as I can see, the preset files have the same license and copyright. I sent an email to OsiriX to ensure those informations, but they didn't answered me. My question to you is: What do I do in this case?
preset files are released under the same lincense as the software
itself. This is under the assumption that the preset files can be
downloaded inside the same archive as the complete software. It is
usual to assume that everything in one tarball follows the main license
statement except some explicite exception is given. The
debian/copyright files are following the same logic when specifying
"Files: *" and mentioning single "Files: exceptions" later.
I did not inspected such a preset file as you are mentioning but simply
guessing from the name it looks like configuration and I do not think
that such files are some specific copyright property compared to the
remaining code - so I guess we are safe here.
Simply mention the files in debian/copyright with an explicite "Comment"
to make ftpmasters aware of this - they have the final say anyway.
Kind regards
Andreas.
