There's no harm in collating copyright as long as the licences are consistent (licence and versioning). Separate GPL-2 from GPL-2+ and GPL-3+ but if all are GPL-2+, it's fine IMHO. > or even further to: > > Files: *.c > Copyright: 2006, 2008 Mr. X > Copyright: 2005 Mr. Y > License: GPL2+ > > especially for files under (L)GPL? I'd be happy with that. You still need the licence notice itself and I always put in the line about finding the licence in /usr/share/common-licences/ as well as the download location. debian/copyright doesn't need to be verbose but it does need to be complete and understandable by ftpmaster. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
