It wasn't rejected. That was a prod. I'll follow up off list
Hi,
My pixelmed-java upload has been rejected for the following reason:
o com/pixelmed/web/package.html is "Copyright all rights reserved"
The only reference I could find about this, is the following [1]:
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=62656#p363466
Could someone please point me to proper debian documentation
explaining the issue with "all rights reserved".
Thanks much,

The "all rights reserved" notice is an archaism which stems from the
period when it was required that an author explicitly proclaim his
copyright in order for his work to be protected under copyright law.
It generally has not been necessary to mark your work as copyrighted
for about two decades now (in some jurisdictions, the change was made
about 60 years ago); and the phrase, "all rights reserved", no longer
has any legal impact on copyright status.
Nowadays, all creative works such as computer programs are afforded
copyright protection whether the creator wants it or not. Amongst the
rights reserved to the copyright holder is the right to offer a
license so that others may copy, modify, and/or distribute the
program. It is my understanding that QT Creator is now offered under
terms of GNU's Lesser General Public License, but you can contact the
copyright owners to try for alternative licensing terms if you wish.
