[ cc-ed Daan Leijen as he is the author of the DData library and Alexey Rodriguez as he is the upstream maintainer of uulib ] Hi Daan and Alexey, I am trying to get the uulib Haskell library (formarly known as uust) of the Utrecht University into the Debian archive. As you probably know this library contains your DData library as UU.DData. Op za, 16-09-2006 te 00:35 +0100, schreef James Westby: > * I'm not sure about debian/copyright.

Well I can try to make that a little bit clearer. but the files don't contain version history so it is almost impossible to say by whom lies the copyright for each file. > Also the non LGPL files > are just said to be under a 'BSD-style' license as far as I can see. > In debian/copyright you assign them the BSD license.

I tried to find information on the webpage of DData but could not find the explicit license so I assumed it was the 3-clause BSD license also used by GHC. Daan, I tried to find the specific licencing terms of DData but could only find two emails [1,2] in which is stated that you have a specific BSD-style licence for DData: I think though that it would be best if you first create a package with your proposal for review before adding it to fptools. Furthermore, we should add a proper BSD style license to all the sources. I have a specific license which I will send to you that should be attached, as I have agreed this license upon some (undisclosed) companies that are using the DData library. Could you send the specific license you have in mind, so I can add that information to the Debian package and get uulib into Debian and Alexey can add the information to his COPYRIGHT file as well ?
