[Please keep CC debian-perl]
Dear debian-legal readers,
Currently, libsys-syslog-perl has the following debian/copyright:
[...]
Upstream Author: Sebastien Aperghis-Tramoni
This package contains the following copyright notice:
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the same terms as Perl itself.
The license terms for Perl are as follows:
[...]
As you see, there is no explicit notice about copyright. I guess the
author information is derived from
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Sys-Syslog/ where it is evident who uploaded
the module on CPAN.
I've already filed a bug[1] upstream, but am wondering whether this
missing copyright notice is a serious bug according to the Policy 2.3:
[...]
Therefore a program without a copyright notice is copyrighted and you
may not do anything to it without risking being sued!
[...]
Please advise.
