doubts about debian/copyrights



Hi, I had in several cases with difficulties with debian/copyright but in most cases with the help of decopy plus any other manual checks and searches, investing a little time I was able to find "the solution".

Recently I had more difficult with latest packages (mint-y-icons mint-themes and mint-x-icons).

Since decopy didn't seem enough I tried licensecheck which seemed to be the most used in debian (or am I wrong?) but in these cases gave a very long output "strange" and unusable, I suppose for unexpected cases.

Which would be the best tool(s) to get a good starting debian/copyright and decrease the time it takes to complete and fix it?

I have one specific issue still not solved related to mint-x-icons:

decopy spotted one file (usr/share/icons/Mint-X/apps/96/miro.svg) with license "CC-BY", I tried a search for found the specific license used but I not found, in mint-theme instead for example about a license doubt I went to look for the origin and I found it and solved it (https://salsa.debian.org/cinnamon-team/mint-themes/-/commit/dcf71951df39f326ea9057d39095f7e94926bf19), regarding this file, however, the site mentioned inside no longer exists and therefore I have not found a certain answer.

there are also some other files with "creative common" found inside it with a grep but that was not spotted by decopy and also in these there aren't details on the exact license

what do you recommend about it?

thanks for any reply
