I'll add the following notice to debian/copyright:
The files inotify.h and inotify-syscalls.h were taken from the source
tree of the linux kernel and slightly altered. Both are licensed under
the terms of the GNU General Public License v2.
inotify.h is
Copyright (C) 2005 John McCutchan
Is that sufficent?
To make sure I'll also add a notice to the headers in the next upstream
version.
Cheers, Tobias
