I do not think that those short snippets of text / metadata in
debian/control and debian/copyright should be subject of some
intellectual property discussion. From my point of view we can assume
it can be sensibly used without spending a lot of time into copyright
discussion.

Fine for me. My main point is that I wanted to give newcomers a handle
how to inspect features of UDD. There are even more interesting data
inside. So if the query is considered ready the other interesting stuff
(for instance screenshots, translations, etc.) might be ignored...
