Thanks.
Can anyone tell me please if attached copyright file is OK? What I'm unsure
about is if it's enough to list all the mentioned names in the package or do
I have to do the painful act of working out who owns a copyright on which of
the many scripts?

Logwatch's language is perl. It mostly does cat logfile | filter1 | filter2
| filter3 ... But why do you think, linking would be a problem? Public
Domain and X11 are both GPL-compatible.
