Well.. As explained before, copyright lists the guys that have worked in the 
code, with statements like (c) 2007 Someone
Licence is the part that talks about rights granted on the code from the above 
copyright owners..
Simply add a Licence: line between copyright and the other part and its ok..
Also, now that we come to this point, have you checked all file headers ? I 
know it is a boring job, but it often gives you some very interesting 
results... upstream authors are not always consistent with the licence they 
give and some part of code they may take from other sources.. Given that you 
have read the REJECT FAQ, I guess you are aware of this point..

Yes I mean those r :)

Well, those utilities seem to be usefull outside of the library usage.
Take the user point of view, would you understand the a libopenjpeg-utils in 
fact contains utilities that have a more general usage than only for testing 
the library or whatever is library specific ?
Other formulation would be : why do you think this package name has to be 
libopenjpeg specific ? 

I can think of mpeg3-utils for instance...
